Banana Pecan Bread

I love banana bread!  It's sweet like cake, but all the bananas make me feel less guilty for eating it.  Don't you agree?!  Not only that, my mom gave it to me for breakfast when I was little, so I can trick myself into believing it's not dessert... though really it is!
So here you go, skip the box, it's really easy to make fresh!




5 bananas ripe and mashed (wet ingredient)
6 oz of crushed pecans
1 cup of granulated sugar
1/2 cup of light brown sugar
1 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of baking soda
1/2 cup of shortening
1 tsp of salt
2 eggs
2 cups of flour

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In one bowl combine wet ingredients and whisk.
In another bowl mix dry ingredients.
Combine the two.
Stir in crushed nuts.
Grease the bread pan or muffin pans.
Bake for abour 1 hour.... I usually do the toothpick test to see if it's done.  Stick in the toothpick, when you pull it out clean, it's done!

Enjoy!
