Here's the banana bread.

2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening (I use butter, shortening is for heathens)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
1 cup mashed bananas (I use 3 whole bananas to make 1 cup mashed)
1 cup chopped walnuts (which I skip)

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cream together shortening (butter), sugar, and eggs.

Add bananas to creamed mixture alternately with dry ingredients, combining well after each addition. Stir in walnuts (if you didn't skip them like me)

Spoon into greased loaf pan and bake at 350 F for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until straw inserted into centre comes clean.

Makes 1 loaf.


*****************************************

I can't find the blueberry bread recipe I used. It must be in another cookbook. In the recipe I liked, you press a mixture of brown sugar and chopped walnuts into the bottom of the loaf pan, then pour the regular batter on top.

This is a similar recipe, but it has almonds on top and nothing underneath. You could try skipping the almonds and putting a mixture of 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (probably held together with a couple of tbsp of melted butter) in the bottom of a loaf pan.

I love muffins and quick breads and coffee cakes. Quick breads are real baking and they're such underrated food :)
