Banana bread

Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Cream the Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the Eggs and Vanilla:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg (if using).
Add Bananas and Sour Cream:
Mix the mashed bananas and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) into the butter and sugar mixture until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in Nuts and Chocolate Chips:
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
