Here's an easy banana bread recipe that even I can make correctly: 1 3/4 cups flour 2/3 cup sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1/2 cup shortening 1 cup mashed bananas (this is about 2-3 bananas) 2 eggs The amount of bananas is up to you, it depends how banana-y you want the bread to be. Personally, I like it very banana-y and put in 3 *large* bananas. It's also easiest to get very ripe bananas, like black ones that just mush when you touch them. Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 9x5 loaf pan. Mix first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Blend until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Use a fork to stir in bananas and eggs. Spread into pan. Bake 55 minutes to an hour, or until a knife in the center comes clean. Cool for about 10 minutes, and remove from the pan. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I can taste it already. I think I'll go make some.
