Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 cups white sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 cups mashed ripe banana
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.75 cup butter, softened
• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups chopped pecans

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour two 8x4-inch loaf pans.

Step 2

Beat together sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in banana and sour cream.

Step 3

Combine flour, pecans, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in a separate bowl; add to banana mixture, mixing until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pans.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Remove loaves from the pans and place on a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or cold.
