Ooooh folks….this Banana Bread is some of the yummiest banana bread I have ever tried. My friend Viki shared this wonderful recipe with us, and it is with her permission that I share it with all of you. Enjoy!!

Miss Viki’s AMAZING banana bread:

Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups flour
2tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup sugar
2 well beaten eggs
2 frozen and then thawed over-ripe mashed banana (use a food processor or a blender)

Method:


Add your dry ingredients together in a bowl (flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt)

In another bowl cream your shortening, and gradually beat in the sugar until its a paste. Add the eggs (prebeaten) and combine well

Freeze the bananas in advance (and any others, we always have five or six frozen in the freezer to use anytime) and pull them out and thaw with hot running water (they go mushy) and put them in the food processor

Mix into the shortening mix, the dry ingredients alternating with the banana (1/2 dry, 1/2 banana, 1/2 dry..you get the idea)

after each addition beat well…keeping the mixture the consistancy of a cake mix or so.

Pour into a greased loaf pan (this recipie can double nicely, I do it all the time)
and preheat your oven at this time to 350.
Let mixture stand for 20 minutes and then bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 mins (until the top has a crack and it looks nicely done)
