Calories 328kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 cups spelt flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups mashed, very ripe banana
  • 1/3 cup sour cream or yogurt
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips or nuts of your choice optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Grease a loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, add the mashed bananas, sour cream, oil, eggs and brown sugar. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet (along with any add-ins you wish) and stir together gently until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Let the loaf cool slightly before removing from the pan, then allow to cool completely on the counter before slicing.

Notes

  • How to Freeze Banana Bread: once the banana bread has cooled completely, wrap the loaf in plastic wrap, then place in a resealable bag. Banana bread can be frozen for up to 3 months.
  • To Make this in One Bowl: Add all your wet ingredients to the bowl and whisk to combine. Then, add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix to combine.
