How to Make Banana Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, beat 3 large egg whites until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 3 large egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork and stir into the creamed mixture.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the beaten egg whites until just incorporated.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
- Garnish with whipped cream and banana slices, if desired.
