Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups overly ripe bananas peeled and mashed
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup walnuts chopped
- Cooking Spray
- 1 batch powdered sugar icing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the sugar and shortening. Add the eggs, mashed bananas and vanilla and blend on low until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg. Gradually add to the wet mixture until combined.
- By hand, fold in the walnuts with a spatula. Lightly coat a 9-inch bread pan with cooking spray and line bottom with parchment paper for easy removal. Transfer the batter into the bread pan.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until top is lightly brown and it passes the toothpick test. If the top starts to brown too fast loosely cover with a leaf of aluminum foil.
- Allow to cool slightly before eating.
