Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C, or 320°F / 160°C for a fan oven. Position a rack in the center of the oven.

Line a 8.5 x 4.5-inch / 21.5 x 11.5 cm loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the long sides so the loaf is easy to lift out.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice until evenly combined.

In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Measure out 1 3/4 cups mashed banana and reserve any extra for another use.

Add the brown sugar, eggs, egg yolk, sour cream, melted butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
