For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of shortening. Toast the walnuts lightly before adding them to the batter for enhanced flavor. If you don't have Amish Friendship Bread Starter, you can find recipes online to make your own, or substitute with a similar sourdough-based starter. This bread freezes well! Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil for best results.

01 Step
Recipe View Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl (non-metallic, if possible), mash together the shortening and bananas until well combined. Stir in the Amish starter, eggs, sugar, walnuts, and milk until the mixture is uniformly blended. (10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. (2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean. This should take approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, but check for doneness starting at 1 hour. (75 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, or until they loosen from the sides. Then, carefully invert them onto a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
