I'm pretty sure I got this recipe from Southern Living, most likely back in the 1980s. There are similar ones already post but I love this one the very best. The flavors of the bananas and blueberries are balanced and the bread is not icky-sweet. I've made both a loaf as well as muffins from this recipe, which doubles easily. Also freezes well... Ingredients:
1/2 cup crisco vegetable shortening |
1 cup granulated sugar |
2 eggs |
1 cup mashed banana |
1/2 cup quick oats (i've used rolled oats and they're good too) |
1/2 cup chopped pecans or 1/2 cup walnuts |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup fresh blueberries (i've been known to add up to a cup) |
Directions:
1. Cream shortening and sugar till fluffy.
2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
3. Stir in banana.
4. Combine remaining ingredients, stirring gently.
5. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until moistened.
6. Turn into a greased and floured loaf pan.
7. Bake at 350*F for 50-55 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
8. Cool in pan for 10 minutes; remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
