01 Step
Recipe View
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Prepare an 8x4-inch loaf pan by lightly greasing it. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and shortening using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution and prevents lumps. (3 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough bread. (5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Fold in the mashed bananas until evenly distributed throughout the batter. (2 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. (1 minute)
07 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (60 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
If your bananas are very ripe (almost black), you can reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe by 1/4 cup.
To prevent the top of the bread from browning too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
