I had overripe bananas, so I decided to make banana bread. My husband will only eat it if it has chocolate in it. Most food blogs have gourmet recipes. I chose to blog this recipe, along with other "basic-type" recipes because this is what most kid's eat. If your kids are anything like mine, they will eat chicken, vegetable and potato if they are separate on one plate...if all 3 ingredients are in a casserole.....forget it! My kids have been circling the kitchen waiting for this loaf to cool down enough so that I can cut it. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does.
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 -3 medium)
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup walnuts if desired (I had a handful left over, so I put some in)
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease only the bottom of a 9 x 5 loaf pan
- Combine all ingredients except for chocolate chips in large bowl; blend well on medium speed
- Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts
- Pour batter into pan
- Bake 60 - 65 minutes; until wooden pick inserted comes out clean
- Cool 10+ minutes and remove from pan. Place on a wired rack until completely cooled.
1 loaf (18 servings...HAH!)
