Ingredients

1 1/2 cups mashed bananas
2 cups all purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 cup pecans, crushed (optional)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x5 loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour; 3/4 cup brown sugar; 1/2 tsp baking soda; 2 tsp baking powder; 1/2 tsp cinnamon; 1/2 tsp cloves; and 1/4 tsp salt.
Beat in 1/2 cup softened butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse sand. This should take about two minutes.
Beat in the 1 Tbsp olive oil; 1 tsp vanilla; 1/4 cup sour cream till just combined.
Beat in each egg separately until each one is combined.
Beat in the 1 1/2 cups of mashed bananas until combined.
If you choose to add the raisins and pecans, beat these in together until combined.
Pour the batter into the greased pan. Set in the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the thickest part comes out clean.
Let the banana bread rest for 10 minutes before slicing into it. Enjoy a warm slice with a slather of butter. Yum!
