Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9 by 5 inch bread pan well with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
2 cups all purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, cooled butter, eggs, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla.
3 very ripe bananas, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, 2 large eggs at room temperature and lightly whisked, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix in the chopped walnuts.
1 cup walnuts
Pour the bread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted slightly off center in the bread comes out with just a few crumbs. If the bread isn't finished inside but is browning on the outside, you can tent it with foil and bake for 5 to 10 more minutes.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then remove and allow to cool on a wire rack for 1 hour before slicing and enjoying.

To measure the flour, be sure to whisk the flour, then scoop it into a dry measuring cup, and level it off. You can see step by step photos of that here: How to Measure Flour.
Your bananas should be well speckled brown. This level of ripeness is important because the bananas will be the right texture and the right level of sweetness. Mash the bananas well with a fork.
