• 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted

• 3/4 cup (150 g) brown sugar

• 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs, room temperature

• 1/4 cup (60 g) sour cream or Greek yogurt ⭐ secret tenderness

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

   • Whisk bananas, melted butter, sugars, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.

3. Add dry ingredients

   • Sprinkle flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon over batter.

   • Gently fold just until combined — do not overmix.

4. Bake

   • Pour into pan and smooth top.

   • Bake 55–65 minutes, tent loosely with foil if top browns too fast.

🔥 Why this banana bread is so soft

• Brown sugar adds moisture

• Sour cream / yogurt makes it tender and rich

• Melted butter keeps crumb delicate

• Minimal mixing = no toughness

🍫 Optional add-ins (dangerously good):

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

• Swirl of Nutella or peanut butter

• Cinnamon sugar sprinkle on top before baking

🧊 Storage

• Stays moist 3–4 days wrapped at room temp

• Freezes beautifully (slice first!)
