Dad's Banana Bread

Bec's Note:

This is a really yummy banana bread that the whole family loves. It is the best when warm, and microwaving it works fine to make it warm later on. This was my dad's recipe and it is the best!

I absolutely loved this bread! I did have to put foil over top the last 10 min of baking because the bread was getting to dark for my taste. I will be making this again!
