Feeling Happy

I make banana bread a lot. I hate to waste bananas. I have four different recipes in rotation and this one is The Prince's favorite!

*Sorry about the poor picture quality. I could not find my camera so these are from my cell phone!






Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
4 ounces butter, softened
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation
Cream sugar and butter; beat in the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla.

Combine dry ingredients and stir into the first mixture just until moistened.

Fold in chocolate chips until well incorporated.

Pour batter into greased and floured 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.

Cover loosely with a tent of aluminum foil. Bake at 325° for 30 minutes.

Remove foil and continue baking for 3o to 40 minutes or until wooden pick inserted tests done.

Cool for 10 minutes, remove from pan and cool banana bread completely before slicing.

**I make this recipe as is and it always comes out perfectly for me!
