This is a very moist and tasty bread, which I will make again for my family. I did not change anything in this recipe, but I think you could add extra flavor with some cinnamon, vanilla, or maple flavoring.

I made this bread with forgotten bananas!(you know the black ones on the counter), It was easy, it was fast and my parents appreciated the homebaked bread in the dank of winter; it made a bright spot in their day.

This is the best bannana bread I've made! I've tried different recipes. This recipe was so moist and delicious. (My kids don't like nuts in their bread---so I left them out---but it was still delicious.)

This bread was SO good! The sour cream makes it really moist. I used pecans instead of walnuts. The only problem I had was with the cooking time: I baked it for 65 minutes and the center was still a bit gooey. I took it out anyway and once it cooled there was one tiny spot that was about half cooked. Although I think there is something wrong with my oven ... But this recipe is a keeper! A definate crowd pleaser!
