It is getting to be that time of year for baking! Here are a few yummy recipes I thought I would share. They are my mommy's Pumpkin and Banana Breads! Enjoy The other one a friend sent to me!

Banana Bread

2 eggs, well beaten
1 1/3 cups of sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 2/3 cups mashed bananas (4 to 5 bananas) ( use really ripe ones)
2 teaspoons vanilla

Mx well and then add the dry incredients:

2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
dash of allspice (optional) (I always use it)
2 3/4 cups sifted flour

When all mixed, add walnuts (about 1 cup). You may also use pecans if you choose or no nuts at all. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. I use a 9 inch loaf pan or cupcake or muffin tins also are good. The baking time would vary as to the kind of pans you use.
