Flour's Famous Banana Bread

What is it with bananas?  One day they look so nice and yellow displayed in my favorite glass fruit dish.....and then the very next morning...brown and too ripe....one step away from calling in the fruit flies.  I have my old stand-by banana bread recipe but decided to search for something a bit different.  I came across Flour's Famous Banana Bread recipe from Flour Bakery in Boston (oh yeah, this place is going on my bucket list!) Loved the results....sour cream made it super moist and the hint of cinnamon was a nice "yum"!

Ingredients:

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
3 1/2 bananas, very ripe, mashed
2 tablespoons creme fraiche or sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped

Preparation:

Set oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Beat sugar and eggs with a whisk until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Drizzle in oil. Add mashed bananas, creme fraiche, and vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients and nuts. Pour into a lined loaf pan and bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
