Sour Cream Banana Bread

I have shared so many banana bread recipes before. This sour cream banana bread is different from the other ones I’ve shared because of the addition of sour cream as an ingredient. I find that the sour cream makes the bread softer and moister. This easy sour cream banana bread is a great way to use overripe bananas. I used 2 large ripe bananas and reduced the amount of sugar because riper bananas are sweeter.  I also replaced half of the butter I would normally use with sour cream. Chopped walnuts are added for additional flavor and texture. This banana bread variation did not disappoint, especially when freshly baked with a cup of coffee or tea.
