[recipe*] Chocolate Banana Bread

[Guest guest]

I have a few funky bananas I need to use up.

This is one of my favorite banana bread recipes.

 

Chocolate Banana Bread

 

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3)

1/4 cup soy milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 cup baking cocoa

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

 

In a mixing bowl cream the butter with the sugar. Add the

banana, eggs, soy milk, and vanilla; blend well. In another

bowl, sift together the flours with the cocoa, baking soda and

salt. Combine with the banana mixture until well blended

and smooth, then fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts

if desired. Transfer to a greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan and

bake at 350 degrees for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick

inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before

removing from the pan to cool on a wire rack.

Yield: 1 loaf

I made this last night and it was a big hit. I didn't

have any soymilk, so I used cow's milk. Great recipe!
