Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking soda, and ½ tsp of salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
  5. Mash 3 ripe bananas and add to the mixture, along with ½ cup of sour cream or yogurt. Stir until combined.
  6. Gradually fold in the flour mixture using a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
