A simple classic banana bread recipe, ready to doll up with nuts, icing, chocolate chips, or enjoy as-is
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Beat sugar and margarine in a bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs, then bananas. Add flour and baking soda, stirring just until combined. Pour into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Remove from the pan and let cool.
Store in the refrigerator or freeze.
Great as-is or with chocolate chips baked-in. Simply mix whatever extras you want right into the batter before putting it in the baking dish. Adapted from 'The Best Banana Bread' from AllRecipes.
