Sour Cream Banana Nut Bread

This is the best banana nut bread I've ever made and maybe the best I've ever eaten! It's so light and fluffy! I thought I'd ruined it when I put the sugar in with the butter before I'd creamed it, but it was perfect so I'll keep doing it that way. It's tops in texture and flavor.

This came out very moist and tasty. I left out the nuts, but added lots of chocolate chips. Also left plenty of room on top for rising, about 1 inch. My grandkids loved this bread and invited some of their friends over to also try it! Needless to say, the bread disappeared quickly.

Terrific recipe. I added 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Since I only had 1 small loaf pan I made cupcakes with the remainder. I think I baked them around 20 min but I would check them after 15 minutes.

A word of caution / this bread "rises" and even though I did not fill pan to top - I left around an inch or so - the bread spilled over the sides of the pan & These edges burned. I just trimmed them off but it would be better to leave more room - not to fill so close to top. DELICIOUS though!

This is a great recipe. I did add three eggs instead of two, and I used margarine instead of butter. It turned out great!

This has become my go-to banana bread recipe -- comes out moist and delicious every time. I have a long narrow loaf pan to bake it in, seems to bake more evenly than a regular loaf pan, since it makes such a large loaf.

Awesome recipe. Very sweet and moist, just what I was looking for! I put more bananas in than it asks for, and didn't use nuts, and it's still yum. As someone else also mentioned, salt was mentioned in the instructions but not the ingredients list, so I wasn't sure how much to put, but it still turned out great!

This recipe is awesome. It did not state how much salt, but I added 1/4 tsp and it came out great. Also, it took my oven about five minutes longer, and it came out so moist and delicious! Will definitely make again!

To get as much nutrients (and flavor) into anything I cook for kids, I started adding chopped dried apricots (approx 1/2 cup) and approx 1/4-1/2 cup raisins. I put the raisins in a coffee mug, fill with water, put in the microwave for a minute, then drain and let them plump up for a 30 sec-1 minute. The kids will howl if I am missing either of these two ingredients.

This receipe was so good. I would recommend lowering the oven temperature if your cooking in a non-stick pan to 325°F and I only cooked them for 45 minutes and they were fully cooked not 1 hour. I used small meatloaf pans. So use a toothpick to check to see if its done. These would also make great cupcakes a healthy alternative to regular cake.

I loved this recipe however it does not state how much salt to add so I improvised. It was very moist. I would love to know the correct amount of salt if possible. Thank you.
