From Metropolitan Cookbook 1964...I love old cookbooks! I love the combination of peanut butter and bananas in this quick bread. (Edited to adjust the baking times to 35-45 minutes and not the original 1 hour. My oven it takes almost a complete 45 minutes where reviewers are baked in 35 minutes. Just check after 35 minutes so it does not get overbaked!) Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/3 cup shortening |
3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter |
2/3 cup sugar |
2 eggs, slightly beaten |
3 medium bananas, mashed (about 1 cup equivalent) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda and set aside.
3. Cream together the shortening and peanut butter; then add the sugar gradually while creaming - continue to cream until light a fluffy.
4. Add eggs and beat well.
5. Stir in dry ingredients alternately with the mashed bananas; mix well but do not beat or overmix or you will get tough bread.
6. Spoon batter into well greased loaf pan 8x4x3.
7. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
