Easy Banana Nut Bread

This is one of my favorite recipes - it makes a wonderful breakfast, snack, or side dish. It is quick, easy, and nutritious.

2 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 mashed bananas
3/4 cup walnuts
1/2 cup sugar (or brown sugar)
1 teaspoon soda
1/2 cup shortning, butter, or margerine
1 teaspoon cinnamon


Mash bananas in small bowl. Sift together dry ingredients. Add bananas and shortning, and beat well, about 30 strokes. Fold in walnuts. Bake in greased loaf pan or 13 x 9 pan, for 35- 40 minutes at 350 degrees.
