Mixing Bowls
Ingredients
¾
cup
granulated sugar
½
cup
oil
3
tablespoon
sour cream
2
large
eggs
1
teaspoon
baking soda
3
bananas, mashed
2
cups
all-purpose flour
½
cup
chopped nuts
optional
Instructions
Grease a cast iron skillet well. (A 10-inch skillet works best; a 12-inch skillet also works.)
In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and stir just until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and spread evenly.
Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven, cool slightly, slice, and serve.
Notes
For best flavor, use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots.
A 10-inch cast iron skillet works best, but a 12-inch skillet can also be used (bake time may be slightly shorter).
Do not preheat the skillet—simply grease it well before adding the batter.
Stir the batter just until combined to avoid dense banana bread.
This banana bread slices best after cooling for a few minutes and freezes well for later.
