Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease two loaf pans that are approximately 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches in size.
  2. Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add the eggs and mix well. Add sour cream, mashed bananas, and vanilla, then stir to combine.
  3. Add the flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the walnuts, if you are using them.
  4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

If you use smaller bananas, use 5 instead of 4. The riper your bananas are, the better the bread will taste.
