Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, room temp
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 very ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
  • Pinch ground allspice
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnut depends how nutty you like it
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Using an electric mixer on medium-high, beat the butter and sugars in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in the bananas and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, and allspice. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and fold in with a spatula until well blended. Gently fold the nuts and sour cream into the batter until just blended, being careful not overmix.
  2. Lightly butter a 10 or 12 inch cast iron skillet. Pour the batter into the skillet; place in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan. To serve, flip the bread out of the pan or serve it from the skillet, sliced into wedges.
