Brown Butter – Sour Cream – Banana Bread

Happy sunday loves! I hope your weekend has been wonderful and you feel rested for another week! I’m just poppin’ in for a quick recipe that if you make it today, you’ll have breakfast all week! Brown Butter Sour Cream Banana bread!

I know it might seem like just another banana bread recipe, but this one is definitely a keeper! The browned butter and sour cream give it just a little extra *something* that sets it apart from other banana bread recipes.

It’s definitely helped satisfy my banana bread cravings this past week! See my friyay faves for more current obsessions. 🙂

Anyway, back to bananas.  We often buy way more bananas than we can eat in a week so we always have a few that are super ripe by Sunday. SO if I’m not in the mood to make a round of banana bread, I usually just peel them and freeze them. I legit have a whole gallon size bag full of banana’s in my freezer. — I may have a problem.

But! Frozen bananas are great for smoothies or of course — banana bread! So get in your sunday kitchen and whip some bread up! Yum!

Happy Baking!

XO,
