Line an 8 x 8 baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Mash the bananas. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar until creamy.
Then add the eggs, vanilla and sour cream, mixing until smooth.
Fold in the mashed bananas.
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and poppy seeds.
Now add these dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, don’t over mix the batter.
