Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp table salt
  • 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp bourbon
  • 3 large very ripe bananas mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pecans. Set aside.
  • Mix together butter, sugar, sour cream, eggs, vanilla, and bourbon. Once it's smooth, add the banana and mix in.
  • Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients and fold it in with a large spatula until it's just combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake for 50 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 325F and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully loosen the bread from the sides of the pan and turn it over onto a wire rack. Serve warm or room temperature.

Notes

  • Toasting pecans: To toast the pecans, bake them at 350F for 5 minutes.
