Banana Bread
6 Large or 8 Medium Bananas, very ripe
4 Eggs
2 Cups Sugar
¾ Cup Oil
4 Cups Flour
1 Teaspoon Soda
2 Teaspoon Salt
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
½ Cup Walnuts, Chopped
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare 2 large loaf pans by greasing and flouring well. Set aside. Peel bananas and place in a large mixing bowl; mix until bananas are mashed. Add eggs, sugar, and oil to the bananas and mix until well blended. In a separate bowl, mix flour, soda, salt, and baking powder. Add this mixture to the banana mixture. Mix together until the ingredients are blended. Add the nuts and mix briefly. (Over mixing causes tunnels and a coarse texture.)
Pour into prepared pans. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Makes 2 loaves.
Note: You can make smaller loaves if desired. Adjust baking time according to size; the smaller the loaf the shorter the baking time.
