If you have been to Starbucks and tried their banana bread, you must agree that their banana bread is super moist. I love the texture and the taste. It is not too sweet and the banana flavor is just right!
So I have been experimenting a lot with banana bread. I have tried making banana bread with coconut oil and melted butter. This time I would try making banana bread with sour cream. And I am going to use a lot of bananas!

Ingredient Notes
Ripe bananas – pick ripe bananas. Find bananas with black spots on the skin.
Sour cream – This will help moisten the cake very well. You can substitute with yoghurt or whipping cream.
Palm sugar – Palm sugar works very well with ground cinnamon.
Ground cinnamon – This spice works together with palm sugar and give a very nice fragrant and flavor.
Cake flour – You can substitute with gluten-free flour if you are gluten intolerance.
Baking soda – This will rise your banana bread and make it fluffy. If you don’t have baking soda, baking powder also works well.
