Let’s be clear: this isn’t the banana bread you instinctively think of when you hear banana bread. That’s cake. This ain’t cake. It’s bread with banana as an ingredient.

The banana and sour cream combine to form a moist, spongy texture. Those craving light and fluffy should look elsewhere. This bread is dense. It’s not ideal for sandwiches. But, it makes for a fine breakfast, adeptly carrying jams, Nutella, and nut butters from plate to mouth.
