Banana Nut Muffins

My mom makes the best banana bread! As a kid, I remember waiting for it to come out of the oven. We would quickly cut a slice off the loaf and slather it with butter. Yum!

2 cups flour, unbleached
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 cup Crisco vegetable shortening
2 eggs, unbeaten
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup ripe bananas, mashed (about 3 small bananas)
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
1 pint fresh raspberries (optional)
