Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat an 8 1/2x4 1/2" loaf pan with nonstick spray, then line with parchment, letting it hang over on both of the longer sides. Whisk whole wheat flour, buckwheat flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a medium bowl.
Mash bananas and brown sugar in a large bowl until virtually no lumps of banana remain and brown sugar is dissolved.
Mix in eggs, oil, and sour cream. Add dry ingredients and mix in with a rubber spatula. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top.
Bake cake until the top springs back when gently pressed and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 55–65 minutes.
Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cake cool in pan 30 minutes. Turn out cake onto rack and let cool completely.
