Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2.5 medium bananas)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats (blended into powder)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

  • Optional: nuts and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a loaf pan with nonstick spray or parchment paper.

  3. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with both sugars until fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until combined.
  5. Mash the ripe bananas and stir them into the mixture.
  6. Add flour and oat powder without mixing yet; combine baking agents and salt in a separate bowl before adding.
  7. Gently mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined; fold in sour cream and toasted nuts if desired.
  8. Pour batter into the loaf pan and bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool on a rack before slicing.
