Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by greasing a 9-inch bread pan with butter or non-stick spray and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup of melted unsalted butter, ½ cup of brown sugar, and ½ cup of granulated sugar until smooth. Add ½ cup of sour cream, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Peel and mash 3 large ripe bananas until smooth, then fold them into the wet mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Gradually add this to the banana mixture and fold gently until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Ripe bananas are crucial for maximum sweetness. Mix ingredients until just combined to avoid a dense loaf. Store tightly wrapped for freshness.
