Recipe:
Servings: 1 loaf (9×5-inch pan)
Ingredients:
* 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1/2 cup sour cream
* 1/2 cup rolled oats
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

* 1 large egg
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* Optional: chopped walnuts or pecans (about 1/2 cup)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sour cream, and melted butter. Stir until smooth.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Whisk until well combined.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in the chopped nuts, if using.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips and Variations:
* Replace the sour cream with Greek yogurt or buttermilk for a different flavor profile.
* Add chocolate chips or dried cranberries for a sweet and fruity twist.
* Substitute chopped apples or diced pineapple for the bananas.
* Make muffins instead of a loaf: Simply divide the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups and bake for 20-25 minutes.
