this is my grandma's recipe and the BEST banana bread recipe I have ever used! I like to smash up bananas and FREEZE them ahead of time...then thaw them out the day I make the bread...and I add not only the bananas..but all that wonderful JUICE too. I also add MORE than just 2 bananas...usually 3 or even 4...and it is just superb!I decided to bake mine in a bundt pan this time round....here is the recipe:
1/2 cup shortening (I used butter Crisco)
1 1/3 cups sugar
Beat those 2 together to cream well.
ADD:
2 or 4 bananas smashed up and juice if you froze them ahead of time and thawed out
2 Tablespoons milk
Mix in 2 eggs
Finally stir in:
1-3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon soda
1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
NUTS if you like...
Bake at 350 degree oven for 30 minutes...then turn oven down to 325 degrees and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes!
ENJOY!
