Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
1-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup melted butter or margarine
1 medium banana, mashed
1-1/2 cups chopped peeled fresh fruit

Spoon into two 5×9-inch loaf pans sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until the loaves test done.

Cool in the pans for 15 minutes.  Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
