Recipe View Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
If your bananas are very ripe (almost black), you can reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe by 1/4 cup.
To prevent the top of the bread from browning too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.

    I was skeptical about the shortening, but it really does make the bread moist and delicious.
