Amazing Banana Bread

This is a recipe I got from a friend that I really liked. I added a variation of adding cocoa, nuts and chocolate chips... an idea I got from some of my Grandma's really good chocolate banana bread. But, I must tell you, this recipe is amazing with or without the cocoa.

3 eggs

7 ripe bananas

1 16oz container sour cream
