Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup quick cooking oats

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2 Cream together shortening and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in banana and vanilla.
3 Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Beat into creamed mixture. Stir in oats and nuts. Pour into prepared pan.
