Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs (free-range or organic preferred)
  • 4 large very ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F. While it's warming up, grab two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pans and grease them with a little butter or coconut oil.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and coconut sugar until it's light and fluffy. This is your arm workout for the day! Crack in the eggs one at a time, giving a good mix after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla extract until everything is well mixed.
    Sour Cream Banana Bread steps
  • Whisk together the whole wheat white flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt in a separate bowl. This ensures our bread has no lumps.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mix and fold in the walnuts or pecans now.
  • Divide the batter evenly between your prepped loaf pans. Slide them into the oven and bake for about 60 minutes. Do the toothpick test to know when it's done.
    Sour Cream Banana Bread steps
  • Let the loaves cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely. It's worth the wait.

Notes

  • Greek yogurt makes a fantastic sour cream substitute if you're in need of a protein boost.
  • Use organic or free-range eggs; the difference in taste (not to mention, health) is definitely noticeable.
  • Let the butter and eggs reach room temperature before incorporating them into the mix. This will lead to a smoother batter.
