Four generations in my family have been eating this banana bread. It is so simple, but tasty. There's nothing secret about a good ratio of flour, sugar, and oil. I add my own twist to the family recipe by adding vanilla extract to the batter (extra vanilla to just about any baked good makes it even better) and sprinkling sugar on top before baking in the oven (which makes for a sweet, crystalized top).
