Healthy Banana Bread

I've updated my standard Sour Cream Banana Bread recipe to be a bit more healthful, so I wanted to re-post the recipe with the new and improved update. Whenever we have this this banana bread on hand, it becomes our go-to breakfast on busy mornings. My family seems to love a slice of this banana bread, some fresh fruit, and a cup of milk (coffee for the grown-ups) to start off their day. I like knowing there is a a bunch of nutrition packed into every bite. My only complaint is that I can't make the loaf last in my house past a couple days, since everyone eats it up so fast!!!
