Chocolate Chip Banana Bread II

By newbaucher

A healthier version than the original.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease loaf pans.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the egg, beating well. Stir in the milk and bananas. Stir together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Blend the flour mixture into the banana mixture; stir just enough to evenly combine. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool loaf in the pan for 20 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
