This is an old family recipe that came to us from my uncle's mother, Helen Jones. It is likely an old pioneer recipe, although I really don't know where she got it from. It has always been a family favorite. My mom swears that the older and browner the bananas the better. With three kids at home, my bananas don't usually last that long.
1 C shortening
2 C sugar
4 eggs
3 C bananas (about 5 bananas)
1 t vanilla
4 C flour
2 t soda
1/2 t baking powder
1 t salt
1 C walnuts (optional)
Cream together the shortening, sugar, eggs, bananas, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients until just mixed. Spoon into 2 paper lined (or spray with no-stick spray) loaf pans. Cook at 300 degrees for 1 hour or longer if necessary.
ENJOY!
