A Recipe for Banana Bread, Really!

White Banana Nut Bread

1 cup sugar 3 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 cup oil 3 cups flour
2 T. soft butter 1 cup mashed bananas
1 egg 3/4 cup chopped nuts
1 tsp. salt

Mix together all of the above.  Pour into a greased pan and bake in a 350-degree oven for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Yield:  2 loaves.

I want you to have this recipe because...while out west I shared cookbooks with a few people.  Someone phoned me after receiving the book to tell me that they had made the white banana nut bread, and it was absolutely perfect.  This person bakes a lot, had not found a "best" recipe until this one for banana nut bread, and has a son who was going to win the national rib barbecue contest soon.

I haven't tried it.  I'm getting my banana nut bread these days from the local grocery store for $3.99 per loaf.

My sweet treat at this precise moment is the Best Actress salutes...right now!  How incredible to see the five past winners!  Wow.  Baffled!
