We just can’t help ourselves over here! Like we really need another reason to post and talk to you, Deb’s was like “Let’s post recipes each week.”. Well, why not, right?! So, why not start today. Deb emailed me a recipe for the World’s Greatest Banana Bread to share with you. Ya know, and since it is coming to be the Holiday season, why not give some inspiration. Here’s the recipe:
(please note: the image is not the actual image, I took it off of Google, but I needed one for dramatic effect & to seduce your senses!!)
World’s Greatest Banana Bread
2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups shortening (Crisco)
3 over ripe bananas (the kind you would throw away!)
2 eggs
Topping (1/3 cup sugar plus 3 teaspoons of cinnamon)
5 tablespoons milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two loaf pans.
Combine flour and sugar, then add all other ingredients except topping items and mix together. Pour batter into the pans and smooth tops. Bake for 10 minutes.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over top of bread. Bake for 35 more minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

I will be trying the recipe from Connie Cook (comment #3), since it sounds much like my favorite that is temporarily lost. ONE CHANGE – I ALWAYS add FRESHLY GRATED LEMON RIND to my banana bread. It is as essential as the bananas themselves, and adds the most wonderful flavor. I’m wondering why no one has mentioned using it in any of the many recipes on the web I’ve checked, or in the comments. Hasn’t anyone else ever tried using lemon zest in banana bread???
