Blend 1/2 cup oil and 1 cup sugar together. Add 2 well-beaten eggs and 3

mashed ripe bananas. Beat well. Add 3 tablespoons milk and 1/2 teaspoon

vanilla. Stir. Add 2 cups self-rising flour, and blend until completely

combined. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Pour mixture into a 9-inch by

5-inch loaf pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil. Bake for about 45

minutes in an oven that has been preheated to 350 degrees. The banana bread

will be done when a toothpick inserted into the middle of the bread comes

out clean. Cool to room temperature, remove from loaf pan, and place on a

serving plate. Top with icing or glaze, if desired. I used a Lemon Sugar

Glaze, which is below:

2. Lemon Sugar Glaze:

3. cup confectioner's sugar

4. tablespoon lemon juice (You may use fresh or bottled lemon juice.)

5. Mix the confectioner's sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl. If

it seems too thick to spread on the banana bread, add more lemon juice. If

is seems thin, add more confectioner's sugar. Glaze the banana bread by

spreading the glaze over the top and letting it spill over the edges. It's

terrific!!!
