Sticky situation

After trying out several banana bread recipes for the last few years I finally found the one I love. I’ve made it several times and each time the loaves stick in the bottom middle of the pan.
I do all the greasing with shortening and have tried using the non-stick spray, but still they stick.

The top half of the loaf comes out great and tastes great. Eating the remainder of the loaf out of the pan is also fun. Who knew I could eat that much banana bread.

So, if you get a gift of banana bread from me and it’s rather short, just remember that I ate the bottom half out of the pan, and gave you the pretty part.
