I received this picture a few weeks ago from a friend –

MAJOR banana bread fail.  So, of course, I decided I needed to show him up & make some of my own.  I pride myself in being the queen of both pumpkin & banana bread, so get ready to have your socks rocked off.

Ingredients:

• 2 sticks of softened, unsalted butter
• 1 1/4 c. sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 c. flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 2 old, mashed up bananas
• 3/4 c. chocolate chips

Directions:

• Cream butter & sugar until smooth
• Add eggs and vanilla
• In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients – add dry mixture to wet
• Fold in bananas & chocolate chips
• Pour into greased & floured bread pans

  

• Bake for around 45 minutes at 350 degrees
