Banana Bread with Flax seeds


Banana Bread with Flax seeds



I have been making this delicious recipe since I was a teenager.  My best friend's mom, shared this recipe when I first got into baking.  It is delicious, simple, and perfect to make whenever you have unused ripe bananas.  I have made a few adjustments over the years but I hope you enjoy this banana bread as much as I do!

A couple variations with this banana bread recipe:  I highly recommend that you use organic flour to make this banana bread, you'll be able to taste a difference.  Additionally, I have added 1 tsp of flax seeds to give the added benefit of fiber in this banana bread.  If you do not have 1 tbsp sour milk or 1 tsp sour cream + milk, you can use regular milk.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp baking soada
  • 1 tbsp sour milk or 1 tsp sour cream + milk
  • 3 mashed ripe bananas
  • 3/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1 tsp flax seed
  • 2 cups (organic) flour
Preheat the oven to 325℉.  Mix shortening and sugar until well blended.  Continue to add each of the ingredients, mix each at a time, in order.
Bake 325°F for 1 hour.
