Sherry's Healthier Banana Bread Recipe

My classmate and friend Sherry Teruya and vital member of the Cooking Hawaiian Style staff made this healthier banana bread recipe for us and it was so good, that I had to get the banana bread recipe from her.  
The healthier part is from using a mixture of oat bran and wheat flour instead of all white flour.  It still has butter and sour cream, but hey...enjoy!  
I have to get her almond cookie recipe next...she makes the best almond cookies!
