Ingredients:
Before we dive into the recipe, let's take a look at the ingredients you'll need:
- 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (3-4 medium bananas)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup vanilla instant pudding mix
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Now, let's get started!
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat the eggs and vanilla extract into the mixture.
4. Add the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla instant pudding mix to the bowl and mix well.
5. In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt together.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat until just combined.
7. Fold in the chopped walnuts (optional).
8. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
10. Once the bread has cooled, slice it into pieces and serve.
Extra Tips:
- Use overripe bananas for the best banana flavor and texture.
- If you don't have sour cream on hand, you can substitute it with Greek yogurt or buttermilk.
- The vanilla instant pudding mix is optional but highly recommended as it adds an extra layer of flavor and moisture to the bread. You can use chocolate or banana pudding mix as well.
- If you want to make the bread healthier, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or almond flour.
