I use to have the same problem with banana bread..i could never get the
thing to cook...until i tried this easy recipe..it sounds strange with the
miracle whip in it but it is the best and i have never had it go wrong..it
is great done in muffin tins with a few chocolate chips thrown in...good
luck!!

wet and mix. Pour into greased loaf pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes. Let stand
10 mintues. Remove from pan and cool completely.
