1/2cup unsalted butter (softened)
3/4cup granulated sugar
1/4cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, then stir in the sour cream until just combined.
Prepare topping: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
Add batter to pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Add topping: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping evenly over the batter.
Bake: Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Use overripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
You can add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
