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!
