Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Old Fashioned Banana Bread
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease and flour two 8x4" loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Mash overripe bananas and whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract in another bowl.
- Gently add the banana mixture to the creamed butter and sugar, stirring until just combined.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually fold into the wet mixture.
- Incorporate the sour cream alternately with the dry ingredients until smoothly combined.
- Divide the batter between the two prepared pans, smoothing the tops.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
