Sour Cream Banana Bread

I have tried many banana bread recipes over the years and this is by far my favorite!  It makes 4 loaves, but freezes well.  The sour cream addition to this recipe makes it so moist and delicious!  Dusting your bread pans with the cinnamon/sugar mixture adds a little crunch to the 
outside of the bread!  Be sure not to skip that part!



First, gather your ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 6 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons baking soda
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)


Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Grease four 7x3 inch loaf pans. In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Dust pans lightly with cinnamon and sugar mixture.  












In a large bowl, cream butter and 3 cups sugar. 










































Mix in eggs, mashed bananas, sour cream, vanilla and cinnamon. Mix in salt, baking soda and flour. 


























Stir in nuts. 



















Divide into prepared pans.











Bake for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.




Enjoy!
