1 ¼ cups sugar

3 large eggs

2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 5 medium)

2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350.  Spray 2 (8 inch) loaf pans with nonstick baking spray with flour.

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add mashed banana, beating until combined.  In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and next 4 ingredients.  Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating until combined.  Stir in sour cream.  Spoon batter into prepared pans.

Bake for 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.  Let cool in pans for 10 minutes.  Remove from pans and cool completely.
