1.) Banana Bread 
3 Bananas – Ripe and Peeled
½ c Shortening
1 c Sugar
1 Egg
1 t Vanilla
1 1/4 c Flour
1 t Baking Soda
1/2 t Salt

Be sure to apply to the corners as well as up the sides and across the bottom. If you do not grease it completely, your banana bread will stick!).
2.) In a bowl place peeled bananas and using a fork mash them
3.) Add the sugar, egg, shortening and vanilla to the mashed bananas and stir until incorporated. You will see bits of shortening. This is expected.
