Wrap it with plastic wrap and then put it in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

Can I make this into banana muffins? Yep- I do it all the time. You will reduce baking time to about 20 minutes. If I want to add mix-ins- how much should I add? Want to make Chocolate Chip Banana Bread? Add 1 cup of the mix in of your choice to the batter before baking. Next time I want to try adding in toffee bits or strawberries.

How long after baking should I remove the banana bread from the pan? Cool it on a wire rack for a good 30-45 minutes. If the bread is too hot it will fall apart. I usually mix this by hand but a hand mixer or stand mixer could work too! The best banana bread ever, this recipe is super easy, adaptable, and delivers great results every time! In a large bowl whisk together the melted butter, and sugars.

Add the eggs one and a time and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Sprinkle the flour, baking soda and salt over the butter mixture and stir to mix until just combined. Fold in the bananas and sour cream. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 60 minutes or until crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. I have used sour cream, greek yogurt, regular yogurt and buttermilk in this recipe and they all yield awesome results.

I usually heap the sour cream into the measuring cup so it’s just a little over-full. Pin the image below to save the recipe for the Best Banana Bread Recipe.
