    3       ea           Bananas -- Ripe, Md
    1       ea           Egg -- Large, Unbeaten
      2/3   c            Sugar
    2       tb           Light Molasses Or Syrup
    2       tb           Shortening, Melted
    2       c            Whole Wheat Flour
    1       t            Baking Powder
    1       t            Baking Soda
      1/2   ts           Salt
    1       c            Walnuts -- Chopped, Optional
 
   Mash the bananas until no lumps remain.  Add the
   unbeaten egg, mixing well.  Beat in the sugar,
   molasses and the shortening. (NOTE:  The secret of
   this recipe is to mix the above ingredients well until
   very smooth.) Sift the flour, baking power, soda, and
   salt together and add to the liquid mixture.  As these
   are a quick bread, do not beat the dry mixture into
   the liquid but rather fold it in only until it is
   moistened and no streaks remain.  Spoon the mixture
   into a muffin tin that has been sprayed with a
   non-stick coating.  Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25
   minutes or until done.  Serve warm.
