Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 4 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Stir in the mashed bananas, maple syrup, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in the chopped walnuts, if desired.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
10. Serve and enjoy!
