Ingredients
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
- 1–1/2 cups very ripe banana, mashed (3 large)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1–1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2/3 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (can also use pecans)
Instructions
- Mash the bananas and melted butter together with a wooden spoon in a large bowl. Make sure the pieces of the banana are very small, almost pureed. Add the sugar and eggs until well incorporated.
- Add the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix until just incorporated. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla until just combined. Stir in the nuts and pour into a buttered 9-x-5 loaf pan. Scatter some walnuts on top.
- Bake at 350F for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it rest for 10 minutes before flipping it out of the loaf pan and onto a plate to cool completely.
