2 cups sifted flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup milk
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 3 medium)
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup butter or shortening
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 cup fresh blueberries

Preheat oven to 325°F degrees.

Grease and flour 2 loaf pans. Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs. Add milk and mashed bananas.

Measure flour, reserving 2 tablespoons of flour to coat blueberries.

Stir baking powder and salt into flour, mixing well. Stir in oats. Fold into banana mixture. Stir in vanilla.

Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons flour over blueberries, then fold into batter. Stir in chopped nuts.

Transfer batter to loaf pans.

Bake about 50 minutes.

Note: This recipe can be prepared easily using a food processor. An advantage to this method is that the oats can be processed into a fine flour before adding the other ingredients, and the bananas won't need to be mashed by hand. Stir in the blueberries and nuts (with a spoon) as the last step and do not process.
