You will need 2/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup shortening, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup mashed ripe bananas.

Note: This recipe does NOT contain eggs or milk. In a large bowl, cream sugar and shortening for about 5 minutes (mixture does not get smooth). Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with bananas, beating after each addition (the batter will be thick). Spoon into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until bread tests done with a toothpick. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
