Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe bananas mashed
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Topping

  • Chopped pecans as desired
  • Chocolate chips as desired

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang for easy removal.
  • Add the mashed bananas, dark brown sugar, and white sugar to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until combined.
  • Pour in the melted butter and mix well.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Sprinkle the top generously with chopped pecans and chocolate chips.
  • Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • If the top begins browning too quickly, loosely cover the loaf with aluminum foil during the final 15–20 minutes of baking.
  • Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then lift it out and transfer it to a cooling rack.
  • Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
