Banana Walnut Bread
One of my children's favorite treats is homemade banana walnut bread. As long as there is a cup of milk to accompany the treat my kids are ready to eat. Most of the time my whole family makes them to enjoy quality time together. Banana walnut bread not only brings us together, but it provides us with a yummy treat for our dessert after dinner.

Then we add half cup of butter and one cup of sugar into the electric mixer until is light and fluffy, we stir in two eggs, one at a time to incorporate. In a medium bowl, we whisk together one in a half cups of flour, one teaspoon of baking soda, and one teaspoon of salt. Then we add it to the butter mixture, and mix until just combined. We add 2 bananas to another bowl and mashed them all up. When they are mashed up we add half cup f sour cream, and one teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix to combine. At this point, we take our original, dry mixture and gradually beat it into the wet mixture. Finally, we stir in the ingredients, add the walnuts and pour into the prepared pan. We insert the loaf into our preheated oven for about 1 hour 10 minutes, we insert a cake tester into the center of the cake until
