This is the greatest banana bread recipe I have ever tried. I didnt have any sour cream so I just added a little milk and of course extra bananas. It had to cook for about 80 minutes but it was worth it!!! My roommate even called me after he had his first bite to tell me "this is the best banana bread you have made since I have known you." GREAT RECIPE!!

This is a super good recipe. I made this one day and the family had scarfed it down by the next. I used the cinnamon sugar as suggested, but I also added a few roughly chopped walnut to the top to give it some extra crunch. It was sooo good!!!
