Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 medium bananas very ripe
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs room temp
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup raw pecans roughly chopped (more or less, depending on preference)
  • 3/4 cup raw walnuts roughly chopped (more or less, depending on preference)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl. You can use a masher, fork, or a spatula. The goal is to leave them a bit lumpy.
