Banana Bread

I can't bring all my recipes with me in my suitcase but I wanted to make sure I had the ones I need when we get to Japan and before our stuff gets there so I thought I could share my recipe and have it in a place I could find all at the same time!!

I got this recipe from my roommate Megan.

Banana Bread
1/2 C Shortening (I used half shortening and half coconut oil because I'm trying to use up what I have. BTW they turned out really yummy with that ratio).
1 C Sugar
2 Eggs
2-3 Bananas (I peal them mash and freeze them flat. Then when I need them, I just put the baggie in the microwave for a minute and they are ready to go straight in the mixer).
3 tsp Milk and 1 tsp Vinegar (You are supposed to let them sit to make sour milk but I usually just put them in my mixing bowl at the same time).
1 tsp Vanilla
2 C Flour (Could probably use GF baking flour?)
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 C Chocolate Chips (or walnuts, or BOTH!)

Preheat oven to 350. Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and mix. Add mashed banana, milk and vinegar and mix. Mix in vanilla. Add flour, baking soda, salt and mix. Add Chocolate chips! I love using my mini loaf pan to cook them in. They take about 30 minutes ('till a toothpick comes out clean) but if you make one large loaf it might take closer to an hour.
