Ornery's Banana Nut Bread

I am not often tempted to be in the kitchen, but for this I make an exception. ;-)

1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups flour (I prefer 1 cup whole wheat flour, and 1 cup white flour)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup sour milk (make by adding 1 Tbl spoon vinegar per cup of milk)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts

Cream sugar and oil together; add eggs and bananas. Combine dry ingredients and add to mixture alternately with milk and vanilla. Add nuts. Bake at 350 deg. for 45 minutes or until done. Yield: one loaf or 12 large muffins.

I prefer using stoneware for baking since it doesn't burn the bread as easily as metal pans. Note: cooking times are somewhat longer with stoneware.
