Traditional Banana Bread
Traditional Banana Bread. I've never made a really good banana bread until I tried this recipe this morning. I didn't measure the bananas, but used the four I had on hand that were mostly black on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Homemade banana bread is one of our favorite treats to have on hand for spontaneous visitors, an on-the-go breakfast, or a special lunchbox snack.

When it comes to banana bread, the blacker the peel, the better. These mushy bananas give off a much sweeter flavor, making them perfect for baking banana bread. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with bananas, beating well after each addition.
