Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Grease the bread pan (if necessary).
Lightly beat eggs.
Add sour cream, mashed bananas, eggs, oil, vanilla extract & sugar into a large mixing bowl. Stir until fully mixed.
Mix in the remaining ingredients (except the chopped nuts). Stir until the batter is fully mixed.
Add 3/4 cup of chopped walnuts (or chopped pecans) to the batter. Stir them into the batter so they are evenly spread throughout. FYI - Save the remaining 1/4 cup to sprinkle on top of the batter after pouring the batter into the bread pan.
Pour the finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts (pecans) on top of the batter.
Bake in the oven for 65-70 minutes.
Take out of the oven and let the sour cream banana nut bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Do not remove the banana nut bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.
After 10 minutes, remove the banana nut bread from the bread pan. Place the banana bread on a cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the bread and the bread pan walls if the banana bread is stuck in the pan.
