Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup butter softened
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 large very ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour or white whole wheat
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and generously grease two loaf pans that are approximately 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches in size.
  • Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add the eggs and mix well. Add sour cream, mashed bananas, vanilla and stir to combine. Add the flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the walnuts and stir to combine.

If using smaller bananas, 5 are recommended. 
The more ripe your bananas are, the better the bread will be!
