Lorilou's Quick N Easy Banana Bread - Take Two

"Having so many bananas at one time, I've been playing around with my old tried and true banana bread recipe. It feels a little like a betrayal, but find that my sweet tooth has changed a bit over the years and I don't always like things as sweet. So here's another take on my old trusted friend... this one has sour cream, which gives it a bit of a tang. It's still basically a one-bowl recipe and doesn't require a mixer. Easy-peasy!!!"
