  3. Add melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the bananas and mix until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Fold in optional walnuts or chocolate chips if desired.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
