Banana Bread

1/3 cup butter (room temp)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
4 bananas
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves (opt)
1/4 tsp nutmeg (opt)
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 cups flour
chopped walnuts (if you like that sort of thing, yuck!)

side dish:
white sugar and cinnamon for a little cinnamon sugar

Preheat oven to 325. Cream butter and sugar. Mix in eggs, then bananas, sour cream, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg and cloves if you add them. Mix well. Mix in salt, soda and flour. Grease pans and then coat bottom and sides with the cinnamon sugar. Pour in batter and top with a little more cinnamon sugar if you want. Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. I bake for about 40 minutes and check, if the tops are a little too brown already I throw on a sheet of foil to stop it from browning too much more while it cooks the rest of the time.

I made this and decided to throw in the nutmeg and cloves and then to top with the cinnamon sugar. It is super yummy and the sugar gives it a little coating. This will make 5 mini loaves or 2 regular size loaves. The time and temp are for 2 glass pans. This is a great moist flavorful banana bread.
