INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 5 very ripe bananas
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 2 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease 2 - 9x5 inch loaf pans. In a medium bowl, mash bananas and stir in the eggs until well blended. Set aside.
