Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease a loaf pan. Set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add in the eggs and beat until combined. Stir in vanilla, mashed bananas, bourbon, and sour cream.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined.

  4. Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and bake for 1 hour - 1 hour, 10 minutes until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  5. Let bread cool in the pan for approx 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and cool completely.
