Best Banana Bread

Love it. I wasnt sure if the recipe made one loaf or two so I started putting it in one pan and realized that it wouldnt bake through if I put it all in one pan, so I put the rest in another loaf pan and made a short bread... get it. It might have been fine in one loaf pan but normally when I make bread and put it all in one pan I have to eat around the middle of the loaf.... not enjoyable. The entire "short-bread" was nearly gone by the time Lost was over. It was a great snack, and could be a great dessert!? I bet you could put it in a cake pan and put some cream cheese frosting on it. Mmm... Next Project.

1/2 cup Butter
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 1/2 cup Flour (I have used whole wheat and it is just as good)
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Salt
1 cup smashed Bananas
1/2 cup Sour Cream (a generous cup makes it extra soft)
1 tsp. Vanilla

Optional: Walnuts or Pecans. I have also put shredded coconut in my banana bread before. I liked it a lot but I love coconut... others, not so much.

Preheat oven to 350*. Cream the butter and eggs. Mix dry ingredients and add to butter and sugar. Add last three ingredients. Bake for about an hour. The loaves I baked last night were light brown and perfectly cooked and soft inside. I think the bake time in my oven is different from normal ovens so just keep an eye on the bread and poke it in the middle with a toothpick when you think it might be done.
