Banana Oat Bread

I know I already have one banana bread recipe on here, but I found this one and gave it a whirl. I love my other recipe (thanks Amy) but this one is far simpiler and requires no "special" ingredients (i.e. heavy cream or egg whites) so I am putting it here for the times when you need a quick and easy banana bread, but by all means, make the wicked good one too.


Oatmeal Banana Nut Bread
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 55 Minutes
Ready In: 1 Hour 15 Minutes
Yields: 12 servings


INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the banana and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Beat into creamed mixture. Stir in oats and nuts. Pour into prepared pan.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
