Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 large bananas will do)
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, spray cooking oil (you can use butter) to coat the bottom of a 9 x 5 x 3 inch bread pan, then lightly dust the pan with flour and tap out the excess. Next, in a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until blended. One at a time, add eggs, beating well with a fork after each addition. Stir in bananas, milk and vanilla until combined. Stir in flour mixture just until blended. Stir the chocolate chips. Scrape batter into a prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until you test with a knife in the center of the bread and it comes out clean. Remove the pan to a wire rack, cool 10 minutes before removing bread from the pan, then finish cooling on the rack.
And it's chow time! (Bread can be frozen for later use, thaw overnight.)
This bread is awesome--it's one of our favorites at the bed & breakfast--you'll love it, mainly because "Chocolate Rules."
