Banana Bread

Ingredients:
1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 c. white sugar
1/3 c. butter, softened
2 eggs
1 c. mashed bananas
1/2 c. chopped walnuts

Directions:
Grease a loaf pan.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large mixing bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar together.  Add butter, eggs, nuts and mashed banana.  Beat until well-blended.  Pour batter into prepared pan and bake about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Note~  Can double the batch and put it into either 2 loaf pans or a 9x13 pan.  I made it in the 9x13 pan and did not add the walnuts and it was very good!
