Orange Banana Nut Bread

1-1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs
3 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1-1/4 cups)
3/4 cup orange juice
3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts

In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, oil and eggs; mix well. Stir in bananas and orange juice. Combine the dry ingredients; add to banana mixture, beating just until moistened. Stir in walnuts.

Pour into two greased 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Bake at 325° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes 2 loaves.
