Banana Bread

This recipe makes 4 loaves. I have cut the recipe in half and made 2 loafs and it turned out just fine!

1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup butter
3 cups sugar
3 whole eggs
6 whole bananas, very ripe, mashed
16 ounces sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1 Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease
four 7x3 inch loaves pans. In a small bowl, stir together 1/4
cup white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Dust pans lightly
with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
2 In a large bowl, cream butter and 3 cups sugar. Mix in
eggs, mashed bananas, sour cream, vanilla and cinnamon. Mix
in salt, baking soda and flour. Stir in nuts. Divide
into prepared pans.
3 Bake for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted in center
comes out clean.
