Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 and 1/2 bananas)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats (blended into powder)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Optional: spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and both sugars until fluffy.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well before incorporating the mashed ripe bananas.
  4. Combine the dry ingredients—flour, blended oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt—and optional spices in another bowl before gently folding them into the wet mixture.
  5. Finally, fold in the sour cream until just combined. If using nuts, add them now.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool before slicing.
