Janet's Rich Banana Bread

Oh Janet, how I love your ways... okay, I don't actually know Janet or her ways, but I LOVE her banana bread. It tastes like going home. I, of course, added my own tiny twist. There wasn't much to play with because this is such a delight.

Janet's Rich Banana Bread

1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 medium bananas, mashed (I just add them in and let the mixer do the mashing)
a couple sprinkles of cinnamon (optional)
a sprinkle of nutmeg (optional)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla, mix well. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, stir into the butter mixture until smooth. Add bananas and mix. Finally, fold in the sour cream and walnuts. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool loaf in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
