This banana bread is so good. I love to throw stuff into sweet
bread recipes. This is an easy bread to mix up and can be made into
muffins as well. It's great for a quick "out-the-door" breakfast or for
an afternoon snack.

Let's go!
Combine the sugar and shortening.
Then add the eggs and beat well.
Add the dry ingredients.
Then the mashed bananas.
Stir in the sunflower seeds and the Craisins.
Plop into a prepared loaf pan.
I like to put a piece of parchment paper
in the bottom for easier removal.
Bake it up!
Allow it to cool in the pan for a few
minutes then turn out of the pan to cool completely.
