Ingredients

For the batter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

  2. In a mixing bowl, cream the shortening and sugar together until light and fluffy.

  3. Add the eggs and mashed bananas to the creamed mixture, mixing until well incorporated.

  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add this to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.

🥄 Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and airy! Lumps are okay—just make sure there are no dry flour pockets.

  1. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan.

  2. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  3. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

⏰ The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it towards the end!
