  • 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar 100g
  • 2 eggs make sure they're cold
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 3 large extra ripe bananas (mashed, about 400g)
  • 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour 195g

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and get your loaf pan ready with parchment paper and a bit of butter.
  • Melt the butter in a nonstick saucepan over medium-low heat. Once melted, turn the heat to the lowest flame, add the granulated and brown sugars, and stir for 1-2 minutes.
  • Take it off the heat and wait around 5 minutes. Then, add the eggs and vanilla, whisking for 1-2 minutes until you get a smooth, silky mixture.
  • Mix in those mashed bananas until everything's well combined.
  • Sift in the flour, baking soda, and salt, and gently fold until it's all mixed in.
  • Finally, fold in the sour cream.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and sprinkle that cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
  • Bake for about 50 minutes or until your banana bread is cooked through.
  • Let it rest for 20 minutes in the loaf pan before turning it out. Now, it's time to enjoy!
