Katrina and I made the teachers Banana Bread for Christmas. Her teacher liked it so much that she sent us a Christmas card over break to tell us how much she loved it and to say thanks. Her birthday was coming up and Katrina wanted to make her teacher another thing of banana bread. I found this recipe for Mini loaves (In my Taste of Home Cooks who Care edition) and it was another winner. My husband ate it up (he loves banana bread). This recipe is perfect if you only have like 1 or 2 banana's and want some delicious banana bread. I am now craving some warm banana bread.
Mini Banana Nut Bread
3 tbsp. shortening
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 large)
3 tbsp chopped walnuts (we omitted these just in case there were any nut allergys).
In a small mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with banana. Fold in walnuts.
Transfer to a 5-3/4-in.x 3-in x 2-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 325 for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
