Simple Banana Bread

By á-9134

This is a basic sweet bread. The only addition to the basic recipe is 1 cup nuts (I use pecans. You could use any nut you prefer). There are spicier recipes but this is a basic.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup Crisco
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp. soda
• 4 or 5 mashed bananas
• 1 cup chopped nuts( if you leave the nuts in large pieces it tears the bread when you cut slices)

Preparation

Step 1

Cream sugar and Crisco well. Add eggs and mix well. Combine flour and soda. Add to first mixture. Next add mashed bananas and chopped nuts.
Bake in a buttered and floured loaf pan at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. Let cool for 5 minutes before taking out of pan.
