• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1 cup mashed over ripe bananas
• ½ cup chopped walnuts, optional

Cream together margarine, sugar and eggs in a large bowl. Add flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Combine and mix gently. Stir in mashed bananas and nuts until batter is wet. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place batter in a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour. Insert toothpick in center, it should come out clean when done.

Note: This recipe doubles well, but only use 3 large eggs for best results.
