I can't help you reconstruct your recipe, but I can offer another one
which has never failed to get positive comments:

Wet Ingredients:

2 cups mashed bananas (I use 4)
3 eggs
1 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla

Dry ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Mix the wet ingredients well.  Sift the dry ingredients.  Put the two
mixtures together and mix well.

Pour batter into greased 9X5 loaf pan (optional -- line pan with wax
paper also).  Bake at 350 degrees 50 minutes or until done (with my
oven it always takes about an hour).  Or fill greased muffin pan 3/4
full and bake at 350 degrees 25 minutes (again, with my oven its a
little longer).  (When I make it with the 4 bananas, I get enough for 6
muffins and a good-sized loaf.)

Optional -- add 1 - 1 1/2 cups chopped nuts (I've mostly used walnuts,
but pecans would work too, I imagine).  Stir into wet ingredients
before adding dry ingredients.

Enjoy!
