Banana Nut Bread

• 3 very ripe  bananas
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine, softened
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts

1. Peel bananas and mash in a large bowl. Combine with sugar and margarine; whip well.
2. Add other ingredients, except nuts, and beat well. Mix in nuts.
3. Pour into 2 well-greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pans. Bake 40-60 minutes at 350 degrees.
4. Remove from pans and cool on rack. This bread freezes well.

Cook's note: For a taller bread, one recipe will probably fit in a loaf pan. Adjust cook time accordingly.

This is a recipe that I have had for a long time and do not know where I got it.
