Mom's Banana Bread

From: Rachelen Hensler

Pre-Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans*

1. Beat together well in large bowl:
4 eggs

2. Add and stir together well:
1 C Oil
2 C Sugar
6 or 7 very rotten Bananas*

3. Whisk together:
4 C Flour
2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt

4. Combine:
2 T Milk
1 t Vanilla

5. Stir Flour mixture and Milk mixture into banana mixture alternately. Mix well.*

6. Pour into prepared pans.

7. Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean.

*NOTES*
*I sometimes use turbinado sugar instead of flour to prepare my pans.
*The more rotten the bananas the better. I often let them get black, then freeze them. This way, if I don't have 6 or 7 bananas, I don't lose them. I freeze them in the skin, it seems to preserve the sweet banana oil better.
*Sometimes I stir in chocolate chips or other goodies~it makes it fun for the little ones (and ME!)
*Nuts are also a nice addition
