Maui Banana Bread Muffins

This is my favorite recipe. Reminds me of banana bread Mike and I got on our honeymoon in Maui halfway on our road to Hana trip. It's also super easy with not a lot of ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 1-1/4 cup of flour  
• 1 cup sugar  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt  
• 1 teaspoon baking soda  
• 3 very ripe bananas  
• 1/2 cup melted butter 
  
• 2 eggs

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Sift together flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. 
3. Blend together bananas, shortening, and eggs. 
4. Fold flour mix into blended wet ingredients ...don't over mix. 
5. Spoon into 9 x 9 x 2-inch pan, sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. (Or use paper liners in 12-cup standard cupcake tin.) Thump once to remove air holes. 
6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. (20 minutes for muffins). Bread/muffins should be a dark brown color.
7. Cool. Cut into squares.
