Cindy’s Banana Bread

Pre-heat oven to 350-F. Butter and flour loaf pan.

Beat the sugar and butter together until creamy.

Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.

Add the bananas and mix.

In a small bowl mix the baking soda and sour cream together and then add it to the mixing bowl.

Add the flour and salt. Mix until just incorporated.

Stir in walnuts, if using.

Bake for 43-50 minutes (22-25 minutes for muffins) or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. If using a thermometer, the center of the loaf should reach 200-205 when done.

Set the loaf pan on a cooling rack and cool for 10 minutes. Then, remove from the pan and continue cooling an additional 10 minutes.
