Let’s talk about what to make when you haven’t been to the store in a while…
Today, I was finally cleaning off my kitchen table after all the Thanksgiving stuff landed there and a found a few bananas that were past their prime. They weren’t fully squishy yet, but they were definitely on their way out. But I absolutely hate throwing food away. So I decided to make some banana bread with it! The smell of this warm, delicious baked good in the oven took over my whole house. So if you want a sure fire way to have your house smelling good, make some banana bread.
To make this easy peasy banana bread, you basically just mix all of the ingredients together and bake it. It’s super simple and a fresh banana bread loaf makes a great hostess gift or quick weekday breakfast as you are heading out the door.
Here’s how to make it!
Moist Banana Bread
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 2 medium bananas, mushed
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
-
In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Next, add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add these dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Combine well.
-
Fold in the sour cream, walnuts, and bananas until it is incorporated. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the pan.

Cool loaf in pan for 5 minutes and then transfer the loaf out of the pan and onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
