                    This can also be made using mini-loaf pans, make this a day ahead it's even better the next day! - bread flour only for this ;-) Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1/2 cup butter, softened  |  
                                                1/2 cup white sugar  |  
                                                1/2 cup light brown sugar (or use all white)  |  
                                                2 large eggs, beaten (room temperature)  |  
                                                1/2 cup sour cream (room temperature)  |  
                                                2 large bananas, mashed (do not puree)  |  
                                                2 teaspoons vanilla  |  
                                                2 cups sifted bread flour  |  
                                                2 teaspoons baking powder  |  
                                                1 teaspoon baking soda  |  
                                                1 pinch salt (can use a bit more salt)  |  
                                                3/4 cup chopped pecans  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Set oven to 350 degrees (set oven rack to second-bottom position). 2. Grease a 9 x 5-inch baking pan and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. 3. In a large bowl beat the butter with sugars and vanilla until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). 4. Add in eggs, sour cream and mashed bananas; mix well until combined. 5. In a small bowl sift together the bread flour with baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until JUST combined (do not overmix!). 6. Stir in pecans. 7. Transfer the mixture to prepared baking pan. 8. Bake for about 55-70 minutes or until the loaf tests done (tent foil over the top of the loaf if browning too much).                              |
