3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 c. (4 to 6) ripe bananas
2 eggs
1 stick (1/2 c.) butter (opt.)
1/2 c. milk
1 (12 oz.) pkg. butterscotch morsels
3/4 c. chopped nuts

Combine flour, baking powder, soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a large bowl mix sugar, mashed bananas, eggs, and butter (if used). Beat until creamy.

Add flour mixture gradually alternating with milk until well blended. Stir in nuts and butterscotch morsels. (If you wish, use only 1/2 cup nuts in the batter and sprinkle the rest on top before baking.) Pour batter into 2 greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pans or 5 or 6 mini-loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Cool 30 minutes in pan before removing. The bread freezes well.
