God-Father Keiths Banana Chocolate Chip Bread: Breakfast-Brunch

Servings: 8

Prep time:20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 

  1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

• 

  1 teaspoon baking powder

• 

  1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 

  1/2 teaspoon salt

• 

  1/3 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

• 

  1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 

  2 large eggs, at room temperature

• 

  1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 large bananas will do)

• 

  2 tablespoons milk

• 

  1 teaspoon vanilla

• 

  2/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, spray cooking oil (you can use butter) to coat the bottom of a 9 x 5 x 3 inch bread pan, then lightly dust the pan with flour and tap out the excess.

Step 2:

Next, in a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Step 3:

In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until blended. One at a time, add eggs, beating well with a fork after each addition. Stir in bananas, milk and vanilla until combined. Stir in flour mixture just until blended. Stir the chocolate chips.

Step 4:

Scrape batter into a prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until you test with a knife in the center of the bread and it comes out clean. Remove the pan to a wire rack, cool 10 minutes before removing bread from the pan, then finish cooling on the rack.

Step 5:

And it's chow time! (Bread can be frozen for later use, thaw overnight.)
