Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) Crisco or unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups mashed bananas
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour*
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat pans with cooking spray or shortening; set aside.
- Cream Crisco or butter and sugar together. Add eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla. Stir in mashed bananas.
- In a separate bowl, sift flour with salt and baking soda. Add nuts.
- Add dry ingredients to wet and mix just until everything comes together.
- Pour mixture into two greased and floured loaf pans.
- Bake at 350°F for 1 hour.
- Cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Invert banana bread onto wire rack and cool completely before slicing.
