We happened across this recipe a few years ago at my mom's when we had a bunch of over-ripe bananas. My family has loved it ever since! Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening |
1/4 cup butter |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
4 eggs |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
4 -5 large bananas, ripe and mashed |
1 cup toffee pieces (such as smashed heath bars) |
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped (optional) |
Directions:
1. Grease and lightly flour 2 loaf pans. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Fold in the mashed bananas. Add the toffee bits and walnuts (if desired).
5. Let the mixture stand for 10-15 minutes, then pour into prepared pans.
6. Bake in a 350 F oven for 1 hour. Brush the crust with melted butter. Cool completely before slicing.
