Instructions

The Bread

▢
Gather the ingredients. With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 225 g all-purpose flour, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. baking powder, and ½ tsp. salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
▢
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened 115 g unsalted butter and 210 g sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
▢
Add the 1 egg and 1 tsp. vanilla extract and beat until the mixture is smooth.
▢
For the best possible flavor, toast the 150 g walnuts or pecans before adding them to the batter. You can do this by spreading them on a baking sheet and baking for 5-7 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until they are fragrant.
▢
Let them cool completely before chopping and adding them to your batter.
▢
In the same bowl, mash the ripe 3-4 ripe bananas. Stir the 120 g sour cream and 150 g walnuts or pecans into the mashed bananas.
▢
At low speed, add the dry ingredients to the mixture. Mix only until just combined. Do not overmix.

The Baking

▢
Butter a loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper, letting the excess hang over the two longer sides.
▢
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
▢
Bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
▢
Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before using the parchment paper sling to remove it from the pan. Let cool completely on the wire rack before slicing.

The Serving

▢
Serve your Mom's Banana Bread [Мамино банановый хлеб] with a nice cup of fresh coffee or tea.
