Quick Banana Bread

This is the best banana bread recipe ever! But it doesn't stay on the counter long. If you wish to freeze it for later, do it fast!

QUICK BANANA BREAD
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 scant teaspoon baking soda
3 ripe bananas, mashed well

• Blend all ingredients by hand in the order listed and pour into a greased 8" x 4" loaf pan. 
• Bake at 325-degrees until done in the center, about 1 hour.

Other notes:

- add walnuts to the batter - sprinkle a few on top before baking.

- fill pans 1/2 full to avoid overflow.

- a double batch makes six small aluminum tins (bake 30-32 minutes).

- bake a pan with eight mini loaves 25-28 minutes.
