Directions:

Spray a loaf pan with non-stick spray. Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, shortening, and sugars (about 2 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating until well incorporated. Stir in mashed bananas, and mix well. Add dry ingredients, and finally nuts if using.
Pour batter into loaf pan, and bake for 50-60 minutes (until a toothpick comes out clean). Allow to cool before slicing. Great with a thick slather of peanut butter.
