Need good Banana Bread recipe--I lost mine

[janice]

Hey, I lost my Banana Bread recipe.   I'm upset, because it was awesome!  I'm trying out other Banana Bread recipe's that I find in various cookbooks, but none can match the one I lost. In fact. I have some in the oven right now!  It smells divine!  I hope it is good.   Can anybody help?

2/3 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 c. mashed bananas
1/4 c. buttermilk
(or sour milk)
1 1/4 sifted whole wheat or white flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda
1 c. bran flakes (optional)
3/4 c. dried fruit
1/2 c. chopped walnuts or pecans

cream butter and sugar.  add eggs and beat well. mix bananas and milk.  mix dry ingredients, fruit, and nuts together; add alternately with banana mixture to the creamed butter mixture, sugar, and eggs.  pour into greased loaf pan and bake at 350 for 1 hour (or until done - toothpick in middle)
