Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 20 servings

  • 1 cup shortening

  • 2 cups white sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 6 very ripe bananas, mashed

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.

  2. In a large bowl, cream together shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Stir in mayonnaise and bananas. Stir together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Blend flour mixture into banana mixture; stir just enough to evenly combine. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean, about 50 to 75 minutes. Cool loaves in the pans for 20 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
