Yummy Banana Bread

Banana bread is probably on the healthier side of desserts, but I love it because my mom would always make it when I was younger and the smell would spread throughout the house. Here's the recipe for my mom's banana bread:

Banana Bread

Ingredients
1 cup of brown sugar (or honey to make it naturally sweet)
2/3 cup of shortening
4 eggs
1/2 cup of almond milk or buttermilk
3 cups of ripe mashed bananas
3 cups of flour
1/2 cup of wheat germ
1 cup of bran
1/2 teaspoon of salt
3 teaspoons of baking powder

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In a mixer, blend the brown sugar and shortening until creamy. Mix in the eggs, and then the almond milk. Stir in the bananas.
3. Combine flour, wheat germ, bran, salt, and baking powder. Add into the batter until fully mixed.
4. Bake in two greased and floured bread pans for 50-60 minutes. It will be done when the knife comes out clean.
5. Gently take the bread out of the pans by tapping the bottom and place them on a wire rack to cool. Enjoy!

There are definitely many versions of banana bread, but you should try this recipe and see if you like it for yourselves just as much as I do. :)
