Sour Cream Banana Bread

Notes: for a healthier bread, you can sub some of the white flour for white wheat flour, or some of the butter for applesauce. For a sweeter treat, a streusel topping would be really delicious. 

Makes 4 7x3-inch loaves

3/4 cup butter
3 cups white sugar
3 eggs
6 very ripe bananas
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)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Grease four 7x3-inch loaf pans.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Mix in bananas and beat until smooth. Mix in eggs, sour cream, vanilla, and cinnamon until well combined. Mix in salt, baking soda, and flour. Stir in nuts. Divide into prepared pans.

Bake for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the bread starts to get too brown on the top, cover with a sheet of aluminum foil until cooked through.
