    <directions>Preheat the oven to 350&deg;. Beat the sugar and butter together until light, about 2-3 minutes on high. Combine the dry ingredients well and beat into the butter/sugar mixture; it will look crumbly, like brown sugar. Beat the eggs in, and then add the bananas. Mix just until combined.

Grease either two standard (6-cup) loaf pans or one 9x9 baking pan. Spoon the batter in, smooth it down, bake it in the lower third of the oven for about an hour or so, until a toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let cool for ten minutes in the pan and then take out and cool on a rack.</directions>
