mixing well after each addition. Stop the mixer and add bananas,
sour cream and vanilla. Mix in on low speed.
Fold in the dry ingredients and nuts with a rubber spatula.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.

Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until mixture begins to bubble.
Reduce heat to low and add butter; cook and stir until melted.
Remove from the heat and stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla.

Stir in sour cream, maple and vanilla.
