Cindy's Yummy Banana Bread

I love banana bread! I'd say it's one of my favorite baked goods. So when I tried Cindy's banana bread, I couldn't resist asking for the recipe! She gave us some when I came back down from visiting her and AJ once, and my roommates all LOVED it! I made some the other day, and although I don't think it was as good as when Cindy made it, but it seemed to be a hit. It was baking during ward prayer, which is done in the lobby of my building, and some of the boys from my FHE group stampeded (no exaggeration) in, to get some! Unfortunately it wasn't done so they had to wait, but it turned out yummy! I give Cindy all credit for this delicious bread :)

3 eggs
1 C. Oil (veg)
2 1\2 C. Sugar
1 TBS. vanilla (I put about 1.5 because I like lot)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1\4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon (more or less depending how much you want it to be cinnamony)
3 C. flour
3-4 bananas (they don't have to be really old, but they are easier to mix in
when they are softer)
1 1\2 cups chocolate chips if desired, that was my first time using chocolate
chips, if you don't want it to be so sugary then you can leave them out, the
bread is good without it, too!

or if you want it to be zucchini bread, shred 2-3 zucchini's and omit the
bananas

Put all ingredients in a bowl in that order, and mix with kitchen aid mixer, hand mixer
or spoon. Bake at 325 and 60-70 minutes.

Note: The batter will either fit into one regular sized bunt pan, or two bread pans.
Plan accordingly!

Enjoy!
