THE BEST BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and grease the bottom and ½" up the sides of a 9x5" bread pan. Set aside.
• Combine mashed bananas, canola oil, and melted butter in a large bowl and stir until well-combined.
• Add sugars and stir well.
• Stir in eggs and vanilla extract.
• Add buttermilk and stir until thoroughly combined.
• In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add dry ingredients to wet and carefully, gently using a spatula (not an electric mixer) fold ingredients together until just combined. Don't overmix the batter or your banana cake could end up dense/dry. If adding nuts/chocolate chips, stir them in here.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and, if desired, sprinkle generously with coarse sugar.
• Transfer to 350F (175C) oven and bake 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted all the way into the center of the cake comes out clean or preferably with a few moist crumbs. Do not over-bake your banana bread or it will be dry.

SIMPLY THE BEST ABOVE ALL THE REST BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350% and grease a loaf pan.
• In a large bowl cream together the Shortening and sugar. Then add in the eggs and mix. Now add in your mashed up bananas(the blacker the skin on the bananas the sweeter the bananas will be) and add the Vanilla.
• Now mix in the flour, baking soda and salt.
• You do not need a hand mixer mix everything with a spoon.
• Pour the batter in the greased loaf pan and place in the oven for 1 hour or 45 minutes depending on how hot your oven gets. Test the middle with a toothpick. You should have no batter on the toothpick that means its done.
• SPECIAL NOTE: Make sure your bananas are over ripe. The blacker the skin is the better!
• Now for the Secret ingredient -- it is the shortening. DO NOT substitute the shortening for butter or anything else. I promise this is what makes the crust so brown and YUMMY! I'm not a big fan of using shortening except I make an acception to this recipe.
• I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have through the years =).
