Disgruntled’s Banana Bread Recipe

{43 notes} home

thedisgruntledgradstudent:

  • 1/2 cup crisco (butter works if you don’t have shortening - attn: Europeans)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 3-4 overripe bananas
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • For Banana Spice version also:
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp cloves

Preheat oven to 350.

Makes either 24 muffins, two small loaves or 1 large loaf. The large loaf bakes approximately an hour. Use cupcake liners or grease pans well.

The muffins about 20 minutes, the small loaves about 25. But I always forget to time them precisely. 

  1. Mash bananas
  2. Beat crisco/butter and sugar until light and fluffy. (You can do this without a mixer, but they will be a bit tough.)
  3. Add eggs and beat until combined
  4. Add vanilla, salt, baking soda and spices, if using beat until thoroughly combined
  5. Add bananas, beat until thoroughly combined
  6. Add flour and mix until just combined.
  7. Divide into baking pans and bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
