This Sour Cream Banana Bread recipe is a classic breakfast treat that is incredibly moist and flavorful. You can even swap out the sour cream for Greek yogurt for a slightly tangy twist.

- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened

- 1 cup mashed bananas (about 3 bananas)
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
