If you are searching for the perfect banana bread recipe, your search is over. This is another great recipe from our friend Jeremy's family. It was gone in 5 minutes. My boys both gobbled it up. I loved it because it was so easy to throw together and I could use up all of my over-ripe bananas!
Rating: 5 stars Difficulty of Recipe: 2 stars
Things that I changed: Nothing
Things I would do differently next time: Nothing at all!
Will I make this again? Yes!
Ingredients:
1 C sugar
2 Tbs shortening (I used butter flavored shortening and it turned out great!)
1 egg
3/4 C milk
3 C Flour
3 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp salt
1 C mashed Banana (About 2-3)
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a loaf pan. 1 Full size, or 2 small. Mix sugar, shortening, and egg thoroughly. Stir in milk. Measure flour and blend dry ingredients. Stir in. Blend in mashed bananas. You don't want to use a mixer for this. Hand mix it and batter should be a little lumpy. Pour into pan(s). Bake for 60-70 minutes. Check center with toothpick and it should come out clean.
I checked mine at 50 minutes. It needed about 55 minutes. I would check the center every 5.
