Directions

  NOTES:
*  This recipe is from my friend Ayalla -- It makes a heavy, but moist, loaf of banana bread.
*  If you use more than 3 normal-size bananas, I suggest that you lower the oven temperature and cook for a while longer.  Otherwise, the crust comes out almost overcooked while the middle remains moist and almost undercooked.
: Difficulty:  easy.
: Time:  Preparation:  10 minutes; baking:  at least 95 minutes.
