Greek yogurt can be a direct measure-for-measure ingredient substitute, but buttermilk is more finicky. To use buttermilk in this sour cream banana bread recipe, omit the 1\/2 cup of sour cream and use 2\/3 cup of buttermilk <em>and<\/em> take away about 3 scant tablespoons of mashed bananas.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I quickly ripen bananas?<\/h3>\n<p>Luckily, there\u2019s no need to hold off on baking this banana bread because your bananas aren\u2019t ripe yet.

If you need them ripened today, we recommend baking them in a 250\u00b0 oven on a baking sheet until the skins turn brown and the flesh is soft, 15 to 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Or, use the microwave! Poke holes all over your bananas, place them on a microwave-safe plate and nuke them until they reach the desired level of softness.
