Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8½ x 4½ inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth (some chunks are okay).
Mix in sugar, eggs, melted butter, sour cream, and vanilla until well combined.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
