Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, melted

• 1 cup white sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

• 2 medium bananas, sliced

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or use nonstick spray.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the melted butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2 minutes.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

5. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until well combined.

6. Gently fold in the sliced bananas and the flour mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

7. Fold in the chopped walnuts.

8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

9. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
