Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup margarine
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large loaf pan and set it aside.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, cream together the margarine (or butter) and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Add Bananas and Sour Cream: Fold in the mashed bananas and sour cream until evenly incorporated into the batter. If desired, gently stir in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
-
Mix Well: Mix the batter until all ingredients are well combined, but be careful not to overmix.
-
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Serve slices of this delicious Sour Cream Banana Bread and enjoy!
