Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract and mashed bananas until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and optional spices.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in two parts until just combined.
  7. Add sour cream and fold until just combined; if using, add toasted nuts.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
