Banana Bread

I actually remembered to post something I made!!

This is my favorite banana bread recipe and super easy.

This is for two loafs, but I usually cut it in half and just make one.

2C Sugar

1C Shortening

6 very ripe bananas

4 eggs

2 1/2 Cups of flour

1ts salt

2ts baking soda

1C walnuts/ craisins / strawberries (optional but craisins are my favorite)

Oven: 350

Cream sugar, shortening and bananas, add eggs. I mix all of this with a beater but my step-mom uses her hands...old school.

Mix dry ingredients and add to the wet mixture. Do not over mix.

Place batter into two well greased loaf pans.

Bake around one hour. In my oven it takes around 55 minutes. After 45-50 minutes, test center to see if its done. Cool on racks for about 30 minutes before removing.
