2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup soft margarine
2 eggs, unbeaten
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup mashed bananas

Preheat your oven to 350ºF.

Mix the sugar, margarine and eggs for 3 minutes. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, walnuts and mashed bananas.

Grease a regular size loaf pan. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool, slice and serve.

• Replacing the sugar with a sugar substitute like Splenda turns this into a great Diabetic dessert or a treat that those of us watching our calorie intake can enjoy in moderation.
• Add extra walnuts on top of the bread before baking for extra crunch .
