Cori's Grammy's Banana Bread (I haven't tried this)

Mix in order given, and bake in moderate oven (350) about 1 hour:
Makes one loaf.

3 mashed bananas
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, if desired (I usually put in more like 1/2
cup and sprinkle whole ones on top)

One banana is about 1/2 cup.  I have had great luck substituting
pumpkin for some of it, and using the spices I'd use for pumpkin pie.
