1 tsp baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Mash bananas in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in melted butter, then beat in sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream until well combined.

- Bake: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
