Ingredients

- 1 ½ cups (375 ml) very ripe banana, mashed (about 3 bananas)
- ½ cup (125 ml) sour cream
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) maple syrup
- ¼ cup (60 ml) canola oil
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla
- 1 cup (150 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (75 g) whole wheat flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup (100g) pecans (optional)

Preparation

- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Butter a 9 x 5-inch (23 x 13 cm), 6-cup (1.5 litre) loaf pan and line with a strip of parchment paper, letting it hang over two sides.
- In a bowl, combine the mashed bananas with the sour cream, maple syrup, oil, egg and vanilla.
- In a large bowl, combine both types of flour with the baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Using a wooden spoon or a spatula, add the banana mixture to the bowl and mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Add the pecans, if desired. Spread out in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the bread comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack for 1 hour before unmoulding and slicing
