1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, cream butter, oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, then mix in mashed bananas, vanilla extract, and sour cream until fully combined.
Gradually stir in dry ingredients until just incorporated. Fold in chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top evenly.
