Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 and 1/2 medium bananas)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats, blended into a powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, optional
  • 1/8 teaspoon cloves, optional
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mash the ripe bananas and stir them into the mixture until combined.
  4. In another bowl, combine the flour, blended oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
  6. Stir in the sour cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. If desired, fold in the toasted pecans or walnuts.
  7. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your bananas are very ripe; the browner and spottier, the better.
  • Always blend your oats into a fine powder for a smoother texture.
  • Let your loaf cool slightly before slicing to let the flavors meld.
