Go Bananas! with this Banana Bread Recipe

I love trying new recipes, and the best recipes come from friends. This Banana Bread recipe came from a dear friend Hillary (2021 update- she is now my daughter-in-law!) and her mama, Carol. It's moist and delicious!

I added chocolate chips!

Never Fail Banana Bread
4 bananas, mashed
2 cups sugar
4 cups flour
2 cups milk
1 scant tsp. salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup applesauce
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup nuts (optional)

Cream together bananas, shortening, applesauce, and sugar. Add eggs. Mix well. Alternately add dry ingredients and milk. adding nuts if desired. Put in well greased loaf pans. Makes 2 loafs. Bake 1 1/2 hours at 375 degrees. 

Ready for the oven.


Banana Bread is a great way to use those no-longer-perfect bananas. I like to make it ahead and keep a loaf or two in the freezer. Banana bread is a great hostess gift, or perfect to add in with that meal delivery of your favorite Minnesota hotdish you are making for that family friend that needs a little hug.
