Ingredients

3 ripe bananas

1/4 cup oil or melted margarine

1 cup sugar

2 cups flour

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

1 cup chopped walnuts (optional-see other options listed below)

Preparation

• Mash bananas (overripe ones make the best bread). Add oil/margarine and sugar. Mix well. • Sift the flour, salt, and baking soda together and add to the banana mixture. Mix until the flour is blended (do not beat). Pour into muffin pans or a bread pan and bake at 360°F until a toothpick comes out clean.

Optional: Add a handful of walnuts, oatmeal, raisins, chocolate chips, currants, coconut, or all of the above!
