Today I made my mother's famous banana bread. This is one of my favorite recipes and a great alternative to throwing away brown bananas. When you're ready to serve, top with cream cheese for the perfect mid-day snack!
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 salt
1/3 cup shortening or butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten well
1 cup mashed, rip, bananas
1 cup chocolate chips/nuts (optional)
Add your eggs, one at a time, and beat again. Add in bananas.
Start by creaming the shortening/butter with an electric mixer. Next beat in your sugar until fully incorporated.
Add your eggs, one at a time, and beat again. Add in bananas.
With your hands or a wooden spoon, mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt -- Make sure not to beat flour; this will alter the consistency of your bread!
Bake at 350 for 60-70 minutes.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
