From Taste of Home Cookbook
1/4 c. butter, softened (I'd say 1/3 c.)
3/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
3/4 c. mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
1/2 c. sour cream
2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. ground cinnamon
(dash of ground cloves)
3/4 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. chopped walnuts (optional)
Variation:
Fold in 1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips (or vanilla or white chips)
1) In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
2) Stir in bananas and sour cream. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Stir into banana mixture just until moistened. Fold in nuts.
3) Transfer to a greased 8x4x2 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a toothpick is inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
