I know EVERYONE has a favorite Banana Bread recipe, but this one is the best EVER--I promise! I have had this recipe for many years and I got it from my dear friend, Kristen Rogers. She's a wonderful cook and every time I make it I think of her. It has a lot of banana so the flavor is really good. I made a loaf last night and it was gone before anyone went to bed.
You can also make banana muffins with this recipe. Just fill cupcake papers, or greased muffin tins 2/3 full and bake approx 15-20 min.
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. shortening, or one cube softened butter (I use butter)
2 eggs
Cream well with mixer, then add:
4 very ripe, mashed bananas
Mix well again. Then add:
1 t. soda
1/2 t. salt
1 3/4 c. flour
Optional: 1 c. nuts (We love pecans--that's what I use)
Mix well and pour into greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 45 min. Check the middle and if it doesn't seem done, bake approx. 5 min. longer. This recipe doubles well, to make two loaves.
Is this recipe suppose to have eggs?
ReplyDeleteI made it without the eggs and it turned out great! Family loved it!
ReplyDeleteMade this as muffins (with eggs) this morning. SO good! Our new favorite. I thought we had a great recipe before. This was so easy and so awesome. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI must have done something wrong. This did not turn out well for me. I did double the recipe, maybe that's why.
ReplyDeleteMade this yesterday and it's definitely a family favorite. Very moist and very flavorful... and so easy!! Thanks for sharing.
