Equipment
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.
