2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 tbsp. orange juice
1/2 c. nuts, chopped (optional)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/3 c. mashed bananas

Mix dry ingredients, cream butter and sugar; beat in eggs, one at a time. Combine bananas and oil. Add this alternately with the flour mixture. Bake at 350 degrees in bread pan (it takes an hour or more to bake). Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan. Grease pan or cut a piece of waxed paper just to fit the bottom and it works great.
