Introduction
This recipe is slightly tweaked from an older version of the BH&G cookbook (my mom's), not the "new" one (I got mine in 1997). I like this recipe better than the newer one.

Ingredients
-
1/4 cup Crisco
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar (or can do 1/2 white and 1/4 brown)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 c sifted flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
4 medium bananas, mashed
Directions
Cream crisco, butter, and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl sift together flour, powder, soda, and salt, and add cinnamon. Mash overripe bananas in another bowl. Alternate adding flour and banana to creamed mixture (in about 3 parts each), combining well after each addition. Pour into greased pan and bake at 350 degrees until light golden brown.
makes:
24 cupcakes - bake approx 15 min (check around 13)
4 mini loaf pans - bake approx 30 min (check around 25)
1 regular loaf pan - bake approx 45-50 min (check around 40)
If your bread is browning too quickly, cover in foil for remaining bake time.
Allow to cool completely, then wrap in foil. Freezes well. I like baking in cupcake tins or mini loaf pans because it's easier to get more servings (i.e., less calories) out of the batch than if you use a regular loaf pan.
These always taste better after sitting for quite a few hours; overnight if you can wait that long!
