Banana bread is already a delicious sweet treat so how do you improve on that? Mix in some brown sugar, cinnamon, and orange juice for flavor and some sour cream for texture. Your new favorite recipe!

3 cups flour
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup sour cream
3 very ripe bananas
1 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Combine dry ingredients. In another bowl, combine beaten eggs, oil, vanilla, orange juice and sour cream. Make a well in center of dry ingredients and mix in liquid ingredients.
In small bowl, mash bananas with fork. Continue with hand mixer until pureed and as smooth as possible. Add to batter. Stir in nuts, if desired.
Grease two 9" x 5" loaf pans with cooking spray. Divide batter evenly. Pans will be about 3/4 full.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, checking after 35 minutes with wooden pick. Bread is done when pick comes out slightly wet, not too dry. Do not over-bake!
Cool in pans for 15 minutes, remove to wire rack and continue to cool. Wrap in plastic when almost cool. Bread will be moister the next day and be shiny/sticky on top.
