Today was spent cleaning and baking. I came across this recipe for banana nut bread in a magazine a while back and thought it sounded good. Boy, was I right! You'll have to try it and taste for yourself.
Southern Banana Nut Bread
1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup pecan pieces
In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Blend in bananas and vanilla. Add flour alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition. Fold in pecans.
Pour into two greased 8in x 4in loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack: cool completely.
That looks so yummy!
