Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare by greasing a 9-inch bread pan or lining with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Add sour cream and eggs, whisking until well combined. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Mash the very ripe bananas in a separate bowl. Fold the mashed bananas into the wet mixture until fully incorporated.
  4. Sprinkle the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon over the wet mixture. Fold gently until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
