Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Condensed Milk Glaze

  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat oven to 350°F and grease 6 mini loaf pans or line them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender texture.
  4. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Beat in the eggs one at a time to incorporate air and structure, then stir in vanilla extract, mashed bananas, and sour cream or yogurt until fully combined.
  5. Incorporate Nuts and Dry Ingredients: Fold in the optional chopped walnuts or pecans gently, then add the dry ingredients and fold just until everything is combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Fill and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini loaf pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool Loaves: Allow the mini loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare Glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
  9. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the warm condensed milk glaze generously over the cooled mini loaves before serving for a rich and sweet finish.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Substitute nuts with chocolate chips to create a delicious variation.
  • The glaze can be made ahead of time and gently warmed before drizzling over the loaves.
