Banana pecan bread. No egg.

This one is a huge family favorite. Baking in my family proves to be a challenge because my Indian family tends to fuss about adding egg. This is a perfect banana bread recipe eliminating egg. You can also make it vegan without the buttermilk.

In honor of my first half-marathon, my awesome co-worker brought in a huge bunch of bananas. Bananas for calcium before my big race day, for the uninitiated. Bananas were delicious before the race but quickly turned over-ripe. Turns out over-ripe bananas work perfectly for banana bread.

4 ripe bananas
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups wheat flour
1/2 cup pecans
1/8 - 1/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp baking soda



Combine all ingredients, mashing the bananas, until you achieve a runny consistency; some lumps should be OK.





Bake at 350 C for an hour or so.
