Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Combine the mashed bananas with melted butter and whisk in brown sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just incorporated.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55 to 65 minutes.
  7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
