Banana Nut Bread

This is the banana bread recipe I make on a regular basis with any bananas that look like they're getting a little over-ripe. It is delish! And easy too! (adapted from the Betty Crocker's Cookbook)

Banana Nut Bread
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups flour (I use 1/2 white, 1/2 whole wheat)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
dash salt
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/3 cup milk
2-3 medium bananas, mashed
1 egg
1 cup chopped nuts

Heat oven to 350F.
Grease bottom of loaf pan, 9x5x3 inches.
Mix all ingredients, beat 30 seconds. Pour into pan(s)
Bake until wooden pick (inserted in the center) comes out clean... about 55-65 minutes.
Cool slightly, loosen sides of loaf from the pan and remove, cooling completely on wire rack before slicing. To store, wrap and refrigerate for 1 week. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
