Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or grease with shortening and set aside.
Add the bananas to a bowl with the warm, melted butter and mash using a fork or potato masher.
Add the oil, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well to combine.
In a second large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with a wooden spoon until combined (the mixture will be thick).
Spoon the mixture into prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes until golden and a cake tester inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.

Notes

Be sure to follow the steps of the recipe. Mixing the dry and wet ingredients well separately before combining them helps to avoid over mixing, this will create a dense, tough loaf.
Measure your flour correctly by using a measuring cup meant for dry measurements, and level off the top of the cup once the flour is scooped. This will ensure you’re not adding extra, which will result in a dry loaf.
To avoid the sour cream banana bread sticking to the pan, use a good quality, non-stick pan that’s greased well with baking spray or shortening (butter can cause sticking). When in doubt, line the pan with greased parchment paper.
