Banana Bread Recipe

How to make Banana Bread

My grandmother Mary's recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 Ripe Bananas (I actually used 3 jars of Banana baby food)
• 1 c Sugar
• 1/3 c Melted Shortening
• 1 Egg
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 1/2 c Flour
• 1/2 c Chopped Nuts (totally optional)

 Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Grease or spray a bread pan
3. Mash bananas (or add the baby food) in a large bowl
4. Add sugar and melted shortening to bananas
5. Beat in egg
6. Add the rest of the ingredients
7. Mix well
8. Pour into the greased/sprayed pan

Bake for 40 minutes 

If you are unsure that it is done, stick a toothpick through the center, 

if it comes out dry then the bread is done baking.
