Healthier Banana Sour Cream Bread

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 3 eggs
• 6 very ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 (16 ounce) container reduced fat sour cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white whole wheat flour
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease four 7×3-inch loaf pans.

Stir together 2 tablespoons white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Dust pans lightly with sugar mixture.

Beat butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Blend in eggs, mashed bananas, sour cream, vanilla extract, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Whisk together salt, baking soda, all-purpose flour, and whole wheat flour in a bowl. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until just combined; fold in nuts. Divide into prepared pans.

Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
