Simple Banana Loaf
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas and stir in the eggs until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, beat the shortening and gradually add the sugar. Stir in the vanilla and the banana mixture. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; mix this into the batter. Add walnuts if desired. Divide the batter between the prepared pans.

  3. 3

    Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
