Grandma’s Banana Bread

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to share, but my grandma’s banana bread is the absolute bomb! I grew up making this pretty regularly and don’t foresee myself ever tiring of it.

What you’ll need:
– 1/2 cup crisco
– 1 cup sugar
– 2 eggs
– 1 cup ripe, mashed banana (about 2 large)
– 2 cups flour
– 1 Tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup chopped pecans

What you’ll do:
– Preheat your oven to 350F and line a metal loaf pan with parchment and spray down any exposed sides.
– Cream together your crisco and sugar for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in the mashed banana for another minute.
– Beat in your eggs, one at a time.
– Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Then fold in the pecans.
– Transfer your batter to the prepared dish, using your spatula to spread the batter to each corner and smooth down the top.
– Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center.
– After about 10 minutes, transfer the loaf onto a cooling wrack. Allow to cool as long as you can stand and ENJOY!
