Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare an 8½ x 4½ inch loaf pan by greasing it.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
Stir in granulated sugar, eggs, melted butter, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Allow to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
