Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American
Servings: 10 - 12 servings
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup shortening or try substituting vegetable oil
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups flour
- Butter for greasing the loaf pan
- chocolate chips
- walnuts optional
Start by preheating you oven to 350° F.
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.
Transfer the batter into a greased loaf or bread pan.
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.
