Banana Banana Bread (extra Banana)

This used to be the page for my Sister-in-laws recipe, but I found this one on All Recipes that I like more. I've modified it a bit...

From the kitchen of:  Jessie Boren (Katie's sister-in-law)

MIX THIS STUFF:

• 1/2 C buttermilk (I usually cheat and use 1Tbs vinegar and add enough milk to get 1/2 C total)

• 1 C mashed bananas (about 3)

• 1 C sugar

• 1/2 C shortening

• 2 eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp soda

• 2 C flour

Pour into greased and floured bread pans (I usually do a normal sized loaf and some small ones)

Sprinkle with brown sugar

Bake around 50min. at 350ºF (definitely use a toothpick to see if it's done... it will depend on the size of the pan and how thick the batter is)

Muffins:  I did muffin format (it made ~18 muffins) and 350 degrees for 30 minutes seemed to do the trick nicely.

MAKES: 2ish loaves
