Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• While your oven is heating, grease a loaf pan (9×5-inch).
• Using a large bowl, mix the sugar and butter together. Add the vanilla extract, eggs, and lemon juice to the mixture and mix together well.
• In another bowl, combine the baking soda, flour, salt, and baking powder. Using a whisk, mix it together thoroughly.
• Add dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix well until smooth. Do not overmix.
• Mash your bananas with a potato masher or fork. You can also use a hand mixer if you want your bananas to be extra smooth, but don't overmix them.
• Fold the bananas, walnuts, and sour cream (the banana mixture) into the other mixture. Gently fold it in without overmixing.
• Spread the mixture into your greased loaf pan.
• Bake your banana bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55-60 minutes. Use the toothpick test to see if it comes out clean after being inserted into the center of the loaf. That's how you know your banana bread is done.
• When your toothpick is clean, open the oven door and turn off the oven. Allow the banana bread to sit in the oven with the oven door open for another 2-3 minutes.
• Remove your banana bread from the oven. Allow it to cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan.
• Place the banana bread on a wire rack and allow it to cool completely.
