1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups very rip bananas; mashed with fork
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup finely chopped black walnuts

Mix oil, sugar, eggs and bananas well. Add flour, salt, baking soda and walnuts and mix until thoroughly blended. Place in a greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or in 4 small loaf pans for 40 minutes.

Tip: Small loaves are a nice addition to a fruit basket or hostess gift. Pecans are excellent in this bread if black walnuts are not available.
