- 1/2 cup sugar coconut sugar would also work
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 eggs

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3 3/4 ounce instant vanilla pudding

- 1/2 cup walnuts chopped
Instructions

- In a large bowl mix the shortening and sugar. Add the eggs and beat well. Set aside.
- In a small bowl sift the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Stir in the dry pudding mix. Set aside
- In a separate small bowl, peel and mash the bananas with a fork until very smooth.
- Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to shortening, sugar and eggs alternating with 1/3 of the bananas, until everything is just mixed and you don't see any pockets of flour. Try not to over mix it.
- Transfer to your loaf pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool 5 minutes in the pan then turn out on to a cooling rack to cool completely.
