How to Make Banging Banana Bread

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cream together 1 cup Crisco shortening and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. In a separate bowl, mash 3 very ripe bananas. Add mashed bananas and 1/2 cup water to the creamed mixture; blend until combined.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients; mix until just combined.
6. Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
7. Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
8. Grease and flour mini loaf pans (approximately 3x5 inches). Alternatively, spray the bottom only of your chosen pan(s) with non-stick baking spray.
9. Fill each mini loaf pan between 1/2 and 2/3 full.
10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Adjust baking time as needed depending on your pan size and oven.
