Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Preheat oven to 350 F
In medium mixing bowl sift together:
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 1/4 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
In separate mixing bowl cream together:
1/3 cup shortening (I use margarine, Becel olive oil)
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs (1 at a time if you’re using your mixer)
1 1/2 cups mashed banana pulp
Mix dry ingredients into creamed ingredients slowly (about 3 parts). Fold in 1/2 or 3/4 cup broken nut meats (I like walnuts), and/or 1/2 cup chocolate chips (if you want to put them in there).

Cook for approximately 50mins
