Introduction
This is the recipe my family always made for our baked goods booth at our local Farmer's Market - it was always a favorite with our customers!This has nuts, but you can simply leave them out if you don't like nuts in your banana bread. This recipe can be made into one regular-size loaf of bread, but we always made this into 4 of the small mini-loafs (you can find the foil pans for these at your grocery store, most likely). This way you can keep one out for snacking and freeze the rest - they freeze and thaw very well.
Enjoy!
** Don't be turned off by the high calorie count on this one - this is per mini-loaf. If you're only enjoying a slice or two, this isn't too bad as a snack. We generally thaw out one mini-loaf and it's shared between the 4 in my family, making it only about 250 calories each.

Ingredients
-
1/2 c. shortening
1 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 c. bananas, mashed
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. baking soda
1 c. walnuts, chopped
Directions
Preheat oven to 350º F.
Cream shortening and sugar together. Blend in eggs. Add lemon juice to bananas and add to creamed mixture until well blended. Stir in flour and baking soda until combined. Stir in nuts.
If making into one loaf - pour batter into greased loaf pan and bake for 45-60 minutes, until golden brown or toothpick pulls clean from center.
If making into smaller loaves - pour about 1 cup of batter into four greased mini loaf pans and bake for 45-60 minutes, until golden brown or toothpick pulls clean from center.
** It's rare that I've ever had to cook the bread the full 60 minutes. Set your timers at the 45 minutes (earlier if you're oven tends to run a little hotter or if you're cooking with convection) and start checking the loaves periodically after the 45-min. mark - this way you'll be sure to get perfectly baked loaves.
~ Makes 1 regular-size loaf or 4 mini-loaves.
