In the Kitchen with Fine Cooking: Making Banana Bread with Chef Diana Andrews

Going bananas? In this video, that's a very good thing 🍌Test kitchen manager Diana Andrews shares her favorite family recipe and a few extra tips to use up all of those overripe bananas.
Make the recipe with us:
Alexa’s Easy Banana Bread
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup finely chopped dark chocolate or cacao nibs (optional)
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. kosher salt
½ cup neutral oil such as grapeseed or safflower
½ cup sour cream
2 large eggs
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 large very ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350°F. Spray a 4-1/2-inch x 8-1/2-inch pan with cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, chocolate (if using), baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla. Fold the bananas into the mixture with a silicone spatula until just combined. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until the mixture is well combined. Transfer to an 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 loaf pan and bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.
