Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

By Joelene

Ingredients

• 6 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs beaten
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 4 cups flour
• 1 bag dark chocolate chips (Ghirardelli 60% chips work nicely)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix together ingredients through baking soda. Add flour and mix until just blended, taking care not to overmix. Fill two greased loaf pans 3/4 full. You can also bake these as cupcakes. Fill the pan 3/4 full and bake about an hour or when a toothpick comes out clean.

These loaves freeze very well. Wrap, when cool, with plastic wrap then aluminum foil. Will keep for one month in the freezer.

Optional: Slice banana bread, then toast and add a schmear of cream cheese or butter.
