I recently got an awesome deal on Greek Sour Cream when I was grocery shopping. So I stocked up. And then I realized, I didn’t have a ton of recipes that utilized sour cream. I didn’t want it to go to waste. I had a few bananas on my counter that were overly ripe and I decided to try my hand at making Sour Cream Banana Bread. And let me tell you, we ate my first loaf in less than 24 hours. Since then I’ve been making this Sour Cream Banana Bread recipe weekly. It is so so moist and so good.
The ingredients for this banana bread are comparable to most banana bread ingredients. Except for the sour cream. The recipe calls for 3 ripe bananas. However, one of the loaves I made I only had 2 bananas and they were not overly ripe. The bread still came out delicious! Most of these ingredients you should have in your stockpile so if you have sour cream in your fridge, you shouldn’t have to make an extra trip to the grocery store to make this bread!
The banana bread bakes for 60-70 minutes at 350 degrees. Your house will smell heavenly as it is baking!
