Grandma’s Banana Bread
Total Time:
About 30 Minutes
Quick and Easy Recipe
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Shortening (I Prefer Crisco Sticks for ease and saving for later)
1 Egg
2 Bananas Mashed *Need to be ripe for better flavor (I prefer 4)
1/4 Cup water
1 Cup Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 Salt
Walnuts *Optional
Preparation:
Pre-Heat Oven to 350°F
Grease 13 x 9 Pan or Loaf Pan
Directions:
Mix all ingredients in the mixer till they are well combined. It is okay if there is still little chunks of banana and shortening.
Note:
You can double this recipe to get thicker banana bread in the 13 x9 pan. If you double the recipe you will need at least 2 loaf pans. We like to maximize the soft crust so we prefer the 13×9 pans.
Time:
This will bake about 20 minutes in a 13 x 9. If you use a different size pan you will want to check on it after 20 minutes and increase time as needed. The center should be light golden brown and clean with a toothpick.
