chips and using margarine instead of shortening. The kids like it a lot, of course, maybe, because it seems more like cake than bread. 1/3 cup margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup ripe bananas, mashed (approximately 2 bananas)
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Pre-heat oven 350 F. Sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
Cream margarine. Add sugar. Add eggs. Beat only slightly after each egg. Slowly add flour mixture. Add mashed bananas. Stir in nuts. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into well-greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. (If you make 1.5 times the recipe or 2 times the recipe, you may use a Bundt pan.)
Bake 350 F for 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from pan; cool on rack.
