The Best Banana Bread – Recipe Review

September 10, 2021

This is a recipe review of the Sour Cream Banana Bread recipe from Inside BruCrew Life. I’ve renamed it “The Best Banana Bread” because it is the best recipe I have found, and I have already made it three times!

Find my recipe review below, or go to the recipe post by clicking here.

This post was originally shared on my EyeLoveKnots blog, and was for the December 2019 Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures.

The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen!

I don’t know about you, but banana bread is one of my favorites! My husband really likes it too, and I wanted to find a delicious, and easy banana bread recipe.

Searching Pinterest, I first came across the Purple Ribbon Banana Bread recipe from Delightful E Made. It was okay, but I wanted more. I really wanted a moist bread full of banana flavor.

I kept searching, and came to Inside BruCrew Life’s Sour Cream Banana Bread recipe. I already LOVE her recipes, so I was excited to try it out.

Check out my Food: Cake/Breads/Donuts Pin Board!

Makes:

One Loaf – 8 – 16 Pieces(ish)

Time:

1 Hour, 20 Minutes – Only 15 Minutes to Prep!

Ingredients I Used:

  • 1/2 Cup Butter – I use Country Crock Plant Butter (dairy free)
  • 1 cup + 1 teaspoon of Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1.5 Cups of Flour
  • 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon of Salt
  • 0.5 Cup of Sour Cream
  • 1.5 Cups (or 2.5) Mashed Bananas
  • Sour Cream Banana Bread Recipe from Inside BruCrew Life

I Also Used:

  • Mixing Bowl and Spoons
  • A Masher (the one I use is really for pulling apart meat, but I use it for mashing potatoes, eggs, etc. A potato masher would work for this too)
  • Loaf Pan
  • Hand Mixer
  • Toothpicks

Ingredient Notes:

Foil: I didn’t use any, but it would have been helpful so the bread would have come out easier for cutting.

Bananas: One banana makes about half a cup mashed. I used half a cup more than the recipe calls for just to add more flavor, and it’s perfect!

Mix Ins: Nuts or Chocolate Chips would have been perfect to throw into this mixture!

Sour Cream: This really adds more moisture, and made the bread fluffier. Was a great addition! I am wondering though – what dairy free ingredient can I substitute this with? Apple Sauce?

I loved everything about this recipe! Easy recipe to follow with easy ingredient list, and low prep time. The flavor and texture was incredible. I have really been enjoying this bread – with my coffee right when I get home from a long day of work. Highly recommended recipe – I’ve already made it three times!

    Banana bread is definitely the best! Since my daughter got married and moved out I don’t buy bananas as much as I used to but I need to try out this recipe. #HomeMattersParty

      I highly recommend it! I am the only one that eats bananas in my home, and I often don’t eat them as quickly as I should, but this is a great recipe for when they start turning.

    Adding sour cream to this banana bread sounds so smart! I bet it tastes amazing! Pinning!

      Yeeess! I am always sad when I finish the loaf, but always happy to make another. It is so nice with the sour cream in there.

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind On Rockwood Lane and EyeLoveKnots! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden orΒ re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.

When I received this black Ouges brand top in my September Amazon Wardrobe box, I was pretty happy. I have a similar top that I received in an earlier box that is the same brand, and I love the fit of it. I think the raglan style gives me a sort of confidence. I am a 42β€³ bust wearing the size Medium. There are several other colors available too!

It's lip balm season, and these lip balm holders are excellent! They come on a swivel hook that can be attached anywhere for easy access, and to make sure you don't lost your lip balm at the bottom of your bag. I personally have one of these. The quality is great, and Candace is lovely to work with! PLUS they come in 11 colors!
