Best Banana Bread

It was time to do something with the over-ripe bananas I had in my kitchen creating an overwhelming ripe banana scent. I’ve tried many banana bread recipes over the years but always come back to this old-time favourite. My Best Banana Bread recipe makes two loaves or one cake size one. I occasionally use my square bundt pan to make a decorative loaf . This quick and easy recipe will have you enjoying fresh from the oven banana bread in no time!

Best Banana Bread

Don’t you just love when recipes call for 3-4 bananas instead of how many cups. Seriously have you looked at the varying sizes of bananas. What is a medium banana? Is there a standard measurement for what is a small, medium or large banana?  I’ve got you covered, I used 3 cups of bananas in this recipe. The sour cream added to the recipe makes for a moist banana bread. You can also substitute full fat greek yogurt.

    Well, I just threw out my old banana bread recipe, this one is sooo much tastier and since you bake it in a bundt, there is not that horrid dried outer edge you get from a loaf dish, thank you!
    I followed your recipe to the letter except I always use cake flour in all of my baked treats, the batter was too much for my 10 cup Nordic Elegant Bundt so I had to use my bigger Nordic bundt. Do you have extra batter when you use your 10 cup bundt?

      Hi Danie, thank you. I baked mine in a 10 cup square pan and did not have any extra batter. I wonder if using the cake flour makes it rise a bit more than regular flour.

      Hi Lucille, 3 cups before mashing. I just push the bananas down a bit.
