Ingredients

  • ¾ cup peanut butter

  • ⅓ cup shortening

  • ⅔ cup white sugar

  • 1 cup mashed very ripe banana

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ cup buttermilk

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 4x8-inch loaf pan.

  2. Beat peanut butter and shortening in a bowl. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Beat one egg into peanut butter mixture until completely blended before beating in the second egg. Stir in mashed banana.
