Banana Muffins

Normally I make this batter into muffins but Brooke wanted to just make it into a loaf so we went with that - it's all the same really. Not my normal banana bread recipe but it turned out good...especially since the kid added a bunch of chocolate chips to the batter! It doesn't make a lot which is kind of nice sometimes, just enough to make one loaf or about 12 muffins.

BANANA MUFFINS

          cream together:   1/2 cup shortening
                                      1/2 cup white sugar
                            add:    2 eggs
after mixing well add:   3/4 cup mashed ripe bananas
                    then add:    1 1/4 cup flour
                                      1 teaspoon salt
                                      1 Tablespoon baking powder

Put batter into a greased loaf pan, or spoon equally into greased muffin tin. Bake at 350' for 20 minutes (for muffins, for the bread I can't remember how long it baked so watch it - maybe 45 mins?).

Note: Brooke added about a cup of chocolate chips to the batter before putting it into the pan...

mushing up the bananas in her hands - she was grossed out and liked it at the same time!
