Sour Cream Banana Bread

 

• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup mashed bananas (about 3)
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
• 1/2 cup sour cream

Cream the butter with the sugar.  Add the eggs and vanilla.  Add the dry ingredients; mix.  Add the mashed bananas, nuts and sour cream.  Bake in a greased loaf pan at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

**This works well in a bread machine also and cooks up better (no gooey middle). Just load ingredients in recommended order as your machine (usually liquid first).  Enjoy!
