Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

By Sharon Feldman

Andy got busy again. We had leftover bananas. Here is his easy recipe if you like banana bread!

Ingredients:

• 4 very ripe bananas
• 1 box Jiffy Banana Bread mix
• ½ cup melted butter
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup of mini chocolate chip mor­sels (more if you LOVE chocolate)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Butter or oil an 8-1/2 x 4-1/4 inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, mash the bananas.   Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk together.

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake 50-60 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center of the bread and if it comes out clean, it’s ready.

Let the cake cook for 15 minutes on a wire rack. Once cooled, turn out the bread from the pan to cool completely.
