Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Sometimes, I need a little inspiration. When it comes to cooking, I tend to experiment with actual meals, not so much dessert. The other day, however, I was reading my friend Stephanie's Blog and saw she had posted a recipe for banana chocolate chip muffins. Although her recipes focus on a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle, it motivated me to get baking and the result was some fantastic chocolate chip banana bread of my own! (Warning: do not make if you have no self control around sweets as you will probably keep cutting little slivers until you have consumed the entire thing.)

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs, beaten

2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas

1 cup milk chocolate or bittersweet chips

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly greasing a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a bowl, combine your flour, baking soda and salt.

In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar.

Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended.

Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten.

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.

Bake for an hour and then let it cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack or plate. You can easily pour the batter into muffin tins and make muffins like Stephanie did in her recipe! Either way, it'll be deliciously addictive!
