Step-by-Step Instructions for Easter Banana Bread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper and greasing it.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time into the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract to the egg mixture until completely blended.
- Mash your overripe bananas until smooth but slightly chunky and fold them into the wet mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the banana batter, stirring gently until just combined.
- Gently fold the chopped leftover Easter candy into the batter, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Use overripe bananas for richer flavor, don't overmix to avoid dense bread, and allow cooling before decorating.
