Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup vegetable shortening
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups ripe mashed bananas (about 6 bananas)
- 4 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Grease and flour 2 8x4x3-inch loaf pans.
- Stir together the flour, salt and baking soda in a bowl. In another larger bowl, mix together the shortening, sugar, mashed bananas, eggs and walnuts. Add the combined dry ingredients and stir only until the batter is thoroughly blended.
- Pour into the prepared pans and bake 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer or straw inserted in the center of the loaves comes out clean, or with only a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out on a rack and let cool completely.
