Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hr and 15 minutes, or till toothpick in center comes out clean. I left the other info, just to give you more options.
Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
 
Next time I plan to sprinkle brown sugar over the top before baking.
