Ok, I just read your other post that you want to see them here<g>.
Normally, I would type it in,
but DH now has 2 bikes working, so we went out today, and of course I
spilled and while I
broke nothing, got some nice bruises, including the back of my hand,
so typing is not fun.

Banana (Nut) Bread
Fanny Farmer Cookbook
3 ripe bananas, well mashed
2 eggs, well beaten
2 cups (280 g) flour (white or whole wheat or both)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
3/4 cup (145 g) sugar (can use light brown sugar for all or part of
it)
1/2 cup (1dL) coarsely chopped walnuts (optional, replaceable with
whatever strikes your fancy, or - more commonly - whatever's in the
house)

Preheat oven to 350F / 180C / mark 4. Grease a loaf pan (or it will
bake faster in a low, broad pan). Mix the bananas and eggs together in
a large bowl. Stir in the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Add the
walnuts and mix. Put the batter in the pan and bake for 1 hour, or
until the cake springs back when you touch it.

I use a 9x13 pan, and bake 35 minutes. Also add 1 to 2 teaspoons
cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/4 teaspoon each nutmeg and white
pepper.
In muffin tins, makes a dozen baked 20 minutes.

Have fun!
