Banana Bread
Ingredients
- Flour2 cups
- Baking soda1 tsp
- Salt¼ tsp
- Cinnamon · ground½ tsp
- Butter · softened½ cups
- Brown sugar¾ cups
- Egg2
- Banana · mashed1
- Sour cream⅓ cups
- Vanilla1 tsp
- Pecan · chopped¾ cups
Instructions
- Lower the oven rack to the lower third and preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time on medium speed, beating well after each. Beat in the mashed bananas, yogurt or sour cream, and vanilla until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and beat on low speed just until combined. Fold in the nuts or chocolate chips, if using. The batter should be thick.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, loosely covering the pan with foil halfway through. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few small moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan on a rack for 1 hour, then remove and cool completely on the rack before slicing.
