Instructions: Line the bottom of a loaf tin with waxed paper, grease paper.

Sift first 5 ingredients together; add bran and chopped nuts.

With a fork, mash the fully ripe bananas; measure.

Mix shortening, banana and egg and beat thoroughly.

Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and minimum mixing.

Bake in a greased loaf tine at 325 to 350 for about an hour.

NOTES : Because this is an old recipe, I now use soya oil, and I do not sift the flour, I also use a cake tester about 45 minutes to see if it is cooked, then every five minutes after that.
