Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

I should just skip the produce and head straight to the cookie aisle.  I buy bananas with good intentions of eating them for snacks, and then they sit on my counter all week.  And because I feel guilty for buying them and not using them, and because I love to bake, I end up making banana bread.  Because I'm not bowled over by banana bread, I discovered this recipe: Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.  So, next time, I should just cut out the middle man and go straight to the Oreos.

But I digress....

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Recipe By:iggytakahashi

"Super amazing banana bread. Moist and tasty!"

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 tablespoon milk

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan, preferably glass.
2. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir bananas, milk, and cinnamon in another bowl. Beat butter and sugar in a third bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs to butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir banana mixture into butter mixture. Stir in dry mixture until blended. Fold in chocolate chips until just combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. **I make 2 medium sized loaves
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 70 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

**It also stores well in the freezer so you can make several and keep them on hand for a quick dessert or snack!!
