Time 1h

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup Crisco shortening
1 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
3 bananas, mashed
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup walnuts (chopped) or 1/2 cup pecans (chopped)

  • Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
  • Pour into a well-greased loaf pan.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be. To check the ripeness of a banana, look for a yellow peel with some brown spots. Avoid bananas that are green or have too many brown spots.
  • Mash the bananas well. This will help to distribute the banana flavor throughout the bread. You can use a fork or a potato masher to mash the bananas.
  • Use good quality nuts. The nuts will add flavor and texture to your bread, so be sure to use good quality nuts. You can use any type of nuts you like, such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
