Let’s bake banana bread!

Poppy and her mom bake super duper banana bread. It might even make you like bananas.

Banana Bread

Makes 1 large loaf

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
3 very ripe, large bananas, smashed
2 large eggs
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.

In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a large bowl, whisk together the bananas, eggs, brown sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and butter. Add the dry ingredients and stir to combine.

Divide the batter between the prepared pans and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cool slightly in the pans, then turn the loaves out onto a wire rack to cool.
