Easy Banana Bread

I believe I stole this recipe from my roommate Marcia in college, but I've been using it for so long now, everyone thinks it's *my* recipe. BUT It is awesome, and here it is:

Easy Banana Bread

1/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed ripe bananas

In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs; mix well.
In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; Add to creamed mixture alternately with bananas, beating well after each addition. Pour into a greased 8in x 4in x 2in loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Makes 1 loaf.
