We'd love to share it, Darrel! You can access it on the Food Timeline website here: Banana-Nut Bread. But just in case that gives you trouble, here's the recipe itself:

"Banana-Nut Bread
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1 beaten egg
1 cup bran
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped nut meats
Cream shortening and sugar until smooth; add egg, then bran, and mix [sic] thoroly. Mix water with banana and add alternately with flour which has been sifted with baking powder, salt, and soda. Mix thoroly and add vanilla and nut meats. Place in greased 1-pound loaf pan and let stand 30 minutes. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees) about 1 hour. This is delicious sliced thin and served with soft cream cheese."
