Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare an 8½ x 4½ inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth with some small chunks for texture.
Add sugar, eggs, melted butter, sour cream, and vanilla to the mashed bananas; whisk until well combined.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
