Banana Nut Bread

Mom -Catherine has some great recipes in her recipe box this is one of my favorite. I remember eating a whole loaf of it when I was about 7. It is also good to make if you have some bananas that are getting too ripe. Whip up a loaf and freeze it for another day.You can make it as a loaf or as muffins.
Makes 1 loaf:

• 3 mashed very ripe bananas
• 1/2 shortening or butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 cups flour- you can do 1 cup wheat flour & 1 cup white flour
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts(walnuts or pecans)
  

Cream bananas, shortening/butter, brown sugar- then add eggs salt & baking soda mix in flour and nuts then pour into loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 min then check every 5 min 'til done.
