Banana Bread

3 very ripe bananas (I've used 2 bananas and canned fruit like peaches or pineapple too)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp. baking powder
2 cups flour ( 1 cup WW pastry, 1 cup unbleached flour)
1/2 tsp. vanilla (optional)
1 cup coarsely broken nuts
Opt: toss in some chia or flax seeds 

In a large bowl, mash bananas with a fork until mushy.  

Add the sugar or agave, oil and vanilla and mix well.  Add

flour and baking powder.

I beat with a french whip until blended but electric mixer is good too. 

Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan at 350°F for about 50 min.

Test by inserting a thin knife in center. If the knife comes out clean,

banana bread is done. Let cool a few minutes before removing from

pan, then cool on a wire rack.
