You say Bananas- I say Bananas. Why is it? Sometimes the bananas get scarfed up, sometimes they are left to ripen? Well today I had very ripe bananas and on those days when there is a cool fall-ish summer breeze.... I hear the sound of the Banana fairies giggling for me to make banana bread with melting gooey chocolate, it is almost like a cake, but it is called bread. It's delicious cake bread- not to be confused with my favorite wine and much cheaper....
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 1 1/2 cups of mashed bananas ( 3 large )
- 3/4 cup of vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts
- 1/2 cup Ghiradelli 60% semisweet chocolate bar broken up
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
- Heat oven to 325 F.
- Grease loaf pan, with shortening.
- Mix sugar, bananas, oil and eggs with a wooden spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into pan.
- Bake until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean, 60- 70 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then loosen sides of loaf pan and remove from pan. Let cool completely before slicing.
- Makes 1 loaf.
