1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup mashed ripe bananas
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup chopped pecans or macadamia nuts
Pinch of cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Using an electric mixer, cream the butter or shortening and sugar. With
the mixer running on medium speed, add the eggs one at a time. Add the
bananas and mix well. Add the baking soda, salt, flour, nuts and cinnamon

prepared pan and bake about one hour or until the center is brown and set.

bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Mix in the milk and cinnamon. In
another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add the banana mixture to the creamed mixture and stir until combined. Add
