There are thousands of banana bread recipes out there—this is the only one you'll ever need. What makes this recipe so good? For starters, we swap in full-fat sour cream (don't even think about reaching for low-fat) instead of milk, which we find gives the banana bread a subtle tangy flavor and richer texture. Second, instead of adding two eggs (traditional in most banana bread), we use one whole egg plus one egg yolk, which helps make the banana bread extra moist. Try it out! you'll love it.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Chopped toasted walnuts
1/2 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 Ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
1/4 cup Sour cream
1 Large egg plus egg yolk
1 cup Granulated sugar
1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
1 tsp. Baking soda
2 cups All-purpose flour

Method

01

Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray.
02

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
03

In another large bowl, mix together melted butter, sugar, egg and egg yolk, sour cream, and vanilla. Add mashed bananas and stir until combined. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until just combined.
04

05

Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool 10 minutes in pan, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
