Banana Blueberry Quick Bread
1/2 cup shortening
1-5/8 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed bananas
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a medium bowl, dredge blueberries in 1/8 cup flour. Gently stir blueberries together with oats, nuts, 1 1/2 cups flour, soda, and salt. In a large bowl, cream shortening. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in mashed banana. Add blueberry mixture to creamed mixture, and stir just until moistened. Spoon batter into the prepared pan. 4 Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the loaf. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack.
