Best Banana Bread around...

Passed down by my momma, it's moist and delicious:

1 stick margarine
1 cup sugar

Cream these two together.

Add 2 eggs and mix well.

In a separate bowl, mix together dry ingredients- 
  
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Add gradually to the margarine, sugar, and egg mixture.  

Finally, add -

1 cup mashed bananas (I sometimes do more  2-3 ripe bananas)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts (my favorite is pecans, and I often do almost a full cup)

Pour into greased bread pan for 45 minutes to an hour at 350 degrees.
It takes my oven closer to an hour.  Let set before trying to remove from bread pan.  

So yummy!
