Here is a recipe that I have not tried. It is from an old Better Homes & Gardens Cook Book that used to belong to my late Bubby.

Cream together the shortening & sugar. Add eggs & beat well. Sift together dry ingredients & add to creamed mixture alternately with bananas, blending well after each addition. Stir in the nuts. Pour into a well greased (sprayed) 9 1/2 x 5 x 3" loaf pan. Bake at 350' for 40-45 minutes or until done. Remove from pan & cool on a rack.
