BANANA BREAD

This is my mom’s banana bread recipe and has always been a hit with family and friends. 

Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 1 ½ c Flour

• ⅓ c Crisco

• ⅔ c Sugar

• 2 tsp Baking Powder

• ¼ tsp Baking Soda

• 2 Eggs

• 2 Bananas, very ripe

• 1 c Chopped Walnuts, optional

Directions

Preheat oven 350°F.

1. Mix flour, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl.  

2. In a stand mixer, cream the crisco and sugar. 

3. Add eggs one at a time.  

4. Add the bananas and mix well.  

5. Add the flour mixture.  

6. Pour into a 9x5 loaf pan greased with nonstick spray.

Bake on the middle rack for 45 minutes to an hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean or with just a few crumbs sticking.  

Let the loaf cool down in the pan for at least 10 minutes and place on a wire rack to cool down completely before removing from the loaf pan.
