Ingredients

4 American bananas overripe, mashed
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter melted
2 tablespoons sour cream or plain yogurt
2/3 cups brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup walnuts
2 1/2 tablespoons dark rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Mash the bananas using the back of a spoon or a masher until they are mushy.
Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl, and combine well using your hands or a wooden spoon.
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, sour cream (or plain yogurt), and sugar by hand with a wooden spoon. Beat until blended, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the mashed bananas, walnuts, dark rum, and vanilla extract.
Add the flour mixture a third at a time, stirring well with a wooden spoon after each addition. Transfer the batter to a 9x5-inch (23 cm x 12 cm) loaf tin and bake in the middle of the oven for 60 to 75 minutes.
Insert a toothpick, fine skewer, or cake tester into the center of the banana bread; it should come out clean. Leave the bread in the tin on a rack to cool for about 30 minutes.
Slice into ten pieces and serve warm.
