Banana Bread

2 cups flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 cup milk

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 1/2 cups margarine (1 stick softened)

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

chopped nuts (optional)

3 - 4 over-ripe mashed bananas

Mix all ingredients together and bake for approx. 1 hr. at 350^o.

Best - use 2 small loaf pans.

Do not use a narrow loaf pan.....bread will not bake in the middle.

I have the best luck with with a 6 1/2" x 10 1/2" loaf pan (inside dim. 9" x 5")
