Here's an easy banana bread recipe that even I can make correctly:

1 3/4 cups flour
2/3   cup sugar
1     tsp. baking powder
1/2   tsp. salt
1/4   tsp. baking soda
1/2   cup shortening
1     cup mashed bananas (this is about 2-3 bananas)
2     eggs

The amount of bananas is up to you, it depends how banana-y you want
the bread to be.  Personally, I like it very banana-y and put in 3
*large* bananas.  It's also easiest to get very ripe bananas, like
black ones that just mush when you touch them.

Preheat oven to 350.  Grease and flour a 9x5 loaf pan. Mix first 5
ingredients in a large bowl.  Blend until the mixture looks like coarse
crumbs. Use a fork to stir in bananas and eggs.  Spread into pan.

Bake 55 minutes to an hour, or until a knife in the center comes
clean.  Cool for about 10 minutes, and remove from the pan.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.  I can taste it already.  I think I'll go make some.
