Instructions: Preheat oven to 350. Spray bottom only of 9" loaf pan with bakers joy.

Cream shortening and add sugar, beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well. Stir in banana.

Combine the oats, nuts, flour, soda, baking powder, salt, stirring gently.

Add to creamed mixture and stir until moist. Fold in blueberries.

Spoon batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes; cool completely on wire rack.

The recipe can be made healthier by using egg beaters, canola oil, and mixing 1/2 and 1/2 wheat and white flour. But on the other hand, to make it more yummy, I sometimes add chocolate chips!
