How to make oat bran muffins:

In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream and baking soda; set aside. Cream butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in sour cream mixture. Stir in remaining ingredients until dry ingredients are just blended. Do not overmix. Divide mixture between 3 mini loaf pans (6 x 5 x 2-inch) and bake in a 350° oven for 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool in pans 15 minutes and then remove from pans and continue cooling on a rack. Yields 3 mini loaves.

Note: Do not finely mash the bananas where they become liquidy. If you do, the bread takes too long to bake and becomes overly crisp.
