I got this recipe years ago, when my Mama gave me my first blender.  Needless to say, that was a long time ago.  Using a blender to make this recipe cuts the preparation time in half.  Hubby doesn’t like nuts, but they can be added easily.

What you’ll need:

Your dry ingredients:

2 1/2 cups sifted flour

2/3 cup sugar or Splenda

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Wet ingredients:

2 eggs

1/3 cup milk

1/3 cup melted shortening or cooking oil

1 1/2 cups sliced bananas (about 2 medium sized)

1 cup pecan halves (optional)

Electric Blender

Loaf Pan

Sift the dry ingredients together in a large bowl

Add the wet ingredients to the blender.

Blend the wet ingredients on a medium speed for 5 seconds.

If you’re going to add nuts to the recipe, this is when they are added.  Add the nuts to the wet ingredients & blend on a medium speed for 3 or 4 seconds until nuts are coarsely chopped.

Pour wet ingredients over the dry ingredients.

Mix until batter is moist.

Grease a loaf pan

Pour batter into the loaf pan.  Bake 350 degrees for 1 hour.

And it’s done!  I love easy recipes.

Enjoy!

Happy Creating everyone!
