Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add sour cream and eggs one at a time, whisking well, then stir in vanilla extract and mashed bananas.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Ensure no dry flour pockets remain.
  5. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool the bread in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use very ripe bananas and ensure melted butter has cooled slightly before mixing with eggs. Consider adding chocolate chips or nuts for added texture.
