Tips
- Wait until the bananas are fully ripe before using them in the recipe. This will ensure they are at their sweetest and most flavorful.
- If you don't have sour cream on hand, substitute it with greek yogurt or buttermilk.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can cause the bread to become dense and tough.
- To jazz up the recipe even more, try adding chocolate chips, raisins, or shredded coconut.
