Moist and Delicious Banana Bread

Lilkari23's Note:

This is the best banana bread I have ever had. I buy really ripe bananas just so I can make this :-) Got the recipe years ago from my friend Rachel. We used to beg her to make this for us in college! I think the moistness is due to the 1/2 cup of oil - I didn't say it was the healthiest banana bread around, but it is worth the extra time on the treadmill!

This is the only banana bread recipe I use. Love it! I cut the sugar to a cup and it's perfect. Thank you for sharing.

This is a keeper, with or without my changes...I used 1/2 cup corn syrup and 1 cup sugar, and added 1/4 cup oats and a dash of cinnamon. I baked this in a 9" square glass pan at least an hour. When cool, cut in half and have 2 loaves.
