Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup shortening or try substituting vegetable oil
  • 3 ripe bananas

  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups flour
  • butter for greasing the loaf pan
  • chocolate chips
  • walnuts optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Start by preheating you oven to 350° F.
  2. In the above order, combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl (I use a Cuisinart). Mix by hand (or by Cuisinart) until it forms a thoroughly blended batter.
  3. Transfer the batter into a greased loaf or bread pan.
  4. Bake until done, usually about one hour. An excellent way to tell if the bread is done is to stick it with a toothpick. If nothing sticks to the toothpick, it is done.

Notes

  • Simple and delicious.
