Banana Bread Bliss

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
3. Add the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Mix well.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in the sour cream or yogurt for extra moisture, and add any optional ingredients like walnuts or chocolate chips.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
8. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your Banana Bread Bliss with a warm cup of tea or coffee, and feel free to add a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey on top! 🍌🍞
