Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Just reading the title sounds delicious, doesn't it?

What to do with those bananas as they are starting to go bad.....

Make banana bread!  


"When life hands you ripe, mushy bananas, make banana bread."


I wanted to try something different than regular banana bread.  I searched around and found this recipe for Chocolate Chip Banana Bread here.   I wasn't sure how it would go over here, but, hey, why not try something new, right?

Here's the recipe:

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 Tbsp milk
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar*
2 eggs
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips


Directions:

Oven 325 degrees F.

Grease a 9x5 glass loaf pan**

Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside.

Stir bananas, milk and cinnamon in another bowl and set aside.

In a larger bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Stir in banana mixture.

Stir in Flour mixture until well blended.

Add Chocolate Chips until combined and pour into loaf pan.

Bake for 70 minutes (until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean)  Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool on a wire rack.  (cool completely before slicing)

Of course, there are some changes....

*I read through some of the comments and decided to change white sugar to brown sugar.  I even cut the amount in half.

**The recipe says that it works better in a glass loaf pan.  I used a glass loaf pan and had no problems with this recipe.

This Chocolate Chip Banana Bread disappeared within 12 hours, so, I would say that it was a hit.

If you try making it, let me know!

Enjoy!
