INGREDIENTS

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1¼ teaspoons baking soda

  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ⅓ cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 3 large ripe bananas, mashed

  • 2 tablespoons pure dark maple syrup

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

  • Nonstick baking oil spray

INSTRUCTIONS 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spray an 8½x4½" loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper, leaving enough on either side to life the load out. In a small bowl whisk flour, baking soda, and salt to combine, set aside.

  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer or if using a hand mixer a large bowl, beat brown sugar, sour cream, and butter until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add the maple syrup and one egg at a time, mixing to combine after each egg.

  3. Reduce the speed to low on your mixer, slowly add the flour mixture, and mix to form

  4. A smooth batter. Add bananas and mix until combined. Fold in walnuts, if using. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. 

  5. Bake the banana bread for 60–65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let it cool in the pan for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the pan and get slicing.
