Step-by-Step Instructions for Sour Cream Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch bread pan by greasing it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth.
  3. Mix in sour cream, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Mash the very ripe bananas and fold them into the wet ingredients.
  5. Sprinkle in all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon; stir just until combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
