Banana Bread

This isn't the exact recipe my mother used growing up, but it tastes just as good! I got this out of my Better Homes and Garden cook book. I often find that we don't eat our bananas as fast as they ripen up (I prefer my bananas green!) so we always have plenty left over for bread :)

2 cups all purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
2 eggs, beaten
1-1/2 cups ripe mashed bananas (about 5 medium)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cooking oil or melted butter/margarine
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom and 1/2 up sides of one bread pan.
• In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
• In a medium bowl, combine eggs, banana, sugar, and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (should be lumpy). Fold in walnuts, spoon batter in to prepared pans.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes, remove from pan, cool completely on rack.
