If you are searching for the perfect banana bread recipe, your search is over. This is another great recipe from our friend Jeremy’s family. It was gone in 5 minutes. My boys both gobbled it up. I loved it because it was so easy to throw together and I could use up all of my over-ripe bananas!

Barton Banana Bread
If you are searching for the perfect banana bread recipe, your search is over.
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup milk
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mashed banana, about 2-3 bananas
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Using a hand mixer mix the sugar, shortening, and egg. When they are smooth mix in the milk.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Using a spatula or spoon mix the flour mixture into the sugar mixture until just combined.
- Add the mashed banana to the batter and mix until just incorporated, the batter should be a little lumpy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-65 minutes. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
Notes
I checked my loaf at 50 minutes and ended up baking it for another 5 minutes before it was ready. Check the loaf at 50 minutes and then every 5 minutes after that.

That bread looks so good! I love banana bread, but have never tried making any myself. I think I better though because I could really go for a piece of that!
This is close to a recipe that I’ve been using for over 30 years… try and use 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 white sugar
So do you use mashed potatoes or mashed bananas?
Mashed Bananas! Sorry I have changed that!
