Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 3 ripe bananas
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Cinnamon Honey Butter Topping
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a loaf pan with butter, making sure to butter the corners well. Cut a piece of parchment paper to lay across the bottom of the pan, pressing the paper up against the side of the pan. The butter will help it hold. This will help for easy removal at the end.
- In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Whisk the dry mixture until all the ingredients are incorporated.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mash 3 bananas to a smooth consistency, making sure most clumps of banana are removed. Mix in eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, and sour cream.
- Mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Make Cinnamon Honey Butter Topping. In a small bowl, soften butter, whisk together butter, cinnamon, honey. Spread dollops over the top of the bread before baking.
- Pour half batter into prepped loaf pan. Top with cinnamon honey butter topping.
- Bake on for 45-50 minutes. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
