Banana Bread Recipe

Smell the bread baking. Nothing smells so good as banana bread fresh from the oven. Here is a simple recipe for you to try as well as a few variations.

How To Make:

Ingredients:

1 cup of sugar.
1/2 cup of shortening.
1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice. Not lemon extract.
2 large eggs.
1 cup of ripe mashed bananas. Better to be a little more than a little under.
2 cups of flour.
3 teaspoons baking powder.
1/2 teaspoon salt.
1-1 1/2 cup of walnuts.

Directions:

Cream shortening and sugar together and add beaten eggs.

Add bananas and lemon juice.

Sift dry ingredients together and add to mixture. Then add nuts.

Bake in a greased pan (I use pam) at 375 for about an hour.

Sometimes I alter the ingredients by adding a few chocolate chips, dates, pecans, cherries, well drained pineapple chunks. It changes the taste a bit and it always tastes wonderful.
