It's a dance move. if you really do not know i will show you...maybe.

QUESTION: what happens when you mix over ripe bananas, sour cream, & creative juices together?

YOU GET CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD! duh. 

Don't believe how enticingly delicious this can be? put off by the sour cream? let me explain.

 We begin with the dry ingredients& sift them together. At the same time we let our butter soften to room temperature. Why do we sift? To let all of the flavors (i.e. cinnamon&salt) mix evenly throughout...also so there aren't clumps of baking soda in our bread

Then comes the wet. Pictured clockwise: mashed bananas, beaten eggs, sour cream, & creamed butter with brown sugar.

**baker's note: sour cream helps keep the bread suuuper moist & for the most part will not change the flavor too much**

 Once both are equally incorporated separately, sift the dry mix into the wet to create the bread batter.

*I do it in parts to avoid potential excessive mess*

best part: ADD CHOCOLATE CHIPS ^.^ (note- the batter should be like a slightly thicker cake batter, not one to roll out or knead)

 Pour batter into your pan of choice & sprinkle extra brown sugar on top for good measure :) Then into the oven it gooooes !

After the given time your dense banana creation comes out of the oven ready for consumption !

(*THIS IS WHEN YOU DO THE 'BANANA PEEL' DANCE*)

I prefer it the next day after letting it set&cool in the fridge, but hot with vanilla ice cream is still a stellar choice. Try it! Let me know how it goes :) Happy baking in the sweltering heat!
