1 egg, well beaten
1 1/2 c. mashed bananas (4 to 5)
1/4 c. melted shortening
1 c. bran
1 1/2 c. sifted flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. broken nut meats

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine eggs, bananas, shortening and bran. Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, salt and sugar. Add nut meats and mix well. Add to banana mixture, mixing only enough to dampen all flour. Turn into well greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch bread pan and bake in a moderate oven about 1 hour or until done (check with a toothpick).
