Two recipes for Banana Bread
I baked this banana bread in one large pan and another time in three small pans. It's a great gift and freezes well.

Beat the eggs and sugar in a separate bowl until well combined, slowly stir in the oil and then add the mashed bananas and vanilla. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture. As an option, mix in the nuts of your choice. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for approximately one hour. Stick a toothpick in your banana bread and see if it comes out clean. Let it cool for a few minutes.
