Banana Bread

Ready for a yummy, EASY recipe that is oh-so-NOT-good for you?? You can certainly make this one healthier by using less sugar and/or replacing the shortening with regular butter (and probably other things, but I wouldn't know because I'm NOT a cook at heart, remember??)

Banana Bread

Ingredients:
1 3/4 c flour
1 1/4 t baking powder
3/4 t salt
1/2 t baking soda
2/3 c sugar
1/3 c shortening (Crisco)
2 eggs
2 T milk
3-4 ripe bananas, mashed

Instructions:
1. Stir flour, baking powder, salt, and soda in small bowl. Set aside.
2. Mix shortening and sugar with a mixer in a large bowl.
3. Add eggs and milk to shortening mixture. Beat until smooth.
4. Add 1/2 of the flour mixture to the shortening mixture and blend with beaters.
5. Add 1/2 of the bananas, then the rest of the flour and rest of the bananas. Beat well.
6. Lightly grease 8x8 pan (or bread pan, but 8x8 pans work the best for me when getting this thing done all the way through.)
7. Bake at 350 about 30 minutes. (Just stick a fork in the middle to make sure it comes out clean, letting you know it's cooked all the way.)

I serve this with lunch, as a snack, or even as dessert!! My kids act like I'm giving them brownies :)
