Old Banana Bread Recipe

This recipe was discontinued in the early 90's edition of my Mom's favorite cookbook, so we saved it since it was so good. The new edition had a healthier, but less delicious version :)

1 3/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour
2/3 Cup Sugar
2 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
1/4 Tsp Salt
1 Cup mashed, ripe banana (2 medium bananas)
1/3 Cup shortening, or softened butter
2 Tbs Milk
2 eggs
1/4 Cup chopped pecans


Preheat oven to 350F. Spray an 8x4 loaf pan with non-stick spray.

Mix dry ingredients in mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add remaining ingredients; mix until combined. Pour into prepared baking pan.

If using a gas stove cook for 50-60 minutes. If using an electric place bread on center rack and cover top with foil for first 20 minutes and then remove foil for remainder of baking time. Test for doneness with a toothpick.
