Re: Recipe for banana bread?

MY MIL gave me this one, and the family loves it:

1 3/4 cups sifted flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cups sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
3-4 mashed ripe bananas
1/4 nuts (optional)

Sift together flour,baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat shortening until creamy in a mixing bowl. Add sugar gradually and continue beating until light and fluffly. Add eggs and beat well. Add flour mixture alternatively with bananas, a small amount at a time, beating after each addition until smooth.

Turn into a well-greased bread pan and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven about 1 hour or until bread is done.

Makes 1 loaf.

Re: Recipe for banana bread?

This recipe is awesome and makes a very moist banana bread:

Banana Banana Bread


INGREDIENTS:

* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup butter
* 3/4 cup brown sugar
* 2 eggs, beaten
* 2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack

Re: Recipe for banana bread?

Just wanted to add, the recipe I posted uses about 5 overripe bananas. If you want to make banana bread, but your bananas aren't overripe like they should be, take off the peel, place them in a plastic baggie and put them in them in the freezer for an hour or so. That speeds up the ripening process. One more thing, to mash the bananas I actually use a potato masher and it works like a charm Chat Icon
