One-Bowl Banana Bread

This is the loaf to make when your bananas are more brown than yellow.
Everything mixes in one bowl with a fork, so cleanup is minimal.

Why This Recipe Works
Sour cream keeps it moist for days.
Add walnuts or chocolate chips, or keep it plain.
Success Tips
Tent with foil halfway through if the top browns too quickly.
Cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.

Clear instructions, and weighing the flour made a big difference.
My family asked for a second batch the next day.
Can I halve this recipe?
Added a pinch more salt and loved it.
This is my new go-to recipe.
