2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup butter or margarine or crisco

1 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon allspice

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

2 cups mashed overripe bananas (I usually use 4 or 5 bananas)

4 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 pans of the small individual loaves

Sift dry ingedients together.

Using a pastry cutter or a fork cut the shortening/butter into the dry ingredients.

In another bowl mash the banana to mush. Beat the eggs. Add this to the other mixture.

Mix all well.

Spoon into loaves.

Bake until toothpick pushed into the center comes out clean.

These are great warm with just a small dollop of butter spread across the top.

This is possibly the very best banana nut bread recipe you'll ever find.
