Another awesome Naner bread recipe

I find Banana bread is a no-miss baked good. Most people like it (except my mom who is allergic to bananas now). In honor of her allergy I decided to make her delicious recipe. She made this for us growing up - used to serve it for breakfast toasted with a little bit of margarine on top. If you want to serve it as dessert, spread on a little Nutella and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yummy! (after the jump...)

              

1 3/4 c flour

2/3 c sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

2 or 3 medium ripe bananas mashed

1/3 c shortening, margarine or butter

2 tbsp milk

2 eggs

1/4 c chopped nuts

Instructions

Ina a large mixer bowl combine 1 c of the flour , the sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Add mashed bananas, then butter then milk.  Beat with an electric mixer on low speed till blended, then on high speed for 2 minutes.   Add eggs and remaining flour; beat until blended.  Stir in nuts.  Pour batter into a greased loaf pan(8x4x2).  Bake at 350’ oven for 55-60 minutes or until  a tooth pick inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.  Remove from pan and cool thoroughly.  Wrap and store overnight before slicing.   Makes one loaf(16 servings).
