I came across this recipe in a local newspaper about 10 years ago, and I still make the bread on a regular basis. The recipe conveniently yields a number of mini loaves, making gift-giving easy.

I added only 2/3 of the amount of sugar that it called for and it was still plenty sweet. I also used oil instead of shortening (and used less oil too). Definitely a great recipe to use up bananas during the Holiday season.
