Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350% and grease a loaf pan.
- In a large bowl cream together the Shortening and sugar. Then add in the eggs and mix. Now add in your mashed up bananas(the blacker the skin on the bananas the sweeter the bananas will be) and add the Vanilla.
- Now mix in the flour, baking soda and salt.
- You do not need a hand mixer mix everything with a spoon.
- Pour the batter in the greased loaf pan and place in the oven for 1 hour or 45 minutes depending on how hot your oven gets. Test the middle with a toothpick. You should have no batter on the toothpick that means its done.
- SPECIAL NOTE: Make sure your bananas are over ripe. The blacker the skin is the better!
- Now for the Secret ingredient -- it is the shortening. DO NOT substitute the shortening for butter or anything else. I promise this is what makes the crust so brown and YUMMY! I'm not a big fan of using shortening except I make an acception to this recipe.
- I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have through the years =).

Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
- Use a combination of flours: Using a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour or almond flour can give your banana bread a more complex flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense loaf of banana bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use quality ingredients: Using high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your banana bread. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and fresh eggs.
- Bake the banana bread at the right temperature: Banana bread should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
