I love our farmer's market!! Every time we go we always find amazing deals! On our last trip to the market we got a box of 30 beautiful bananas for only $5! Immediately my mind goes crazy with all the banana goodness that I can create. So after a couple of days of eating straight up bananas I reach for my trusty Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. I enjoy chocolate and bananas together, but you can easily omit the chocolate chips if you don't enjoy them as much as I do.
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 salt
1 cup mashed ripe banana (2 to 3 medium bananas)
1/3 cup shortening, margarine, or butter
2 tablespoons milk
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
In a large mixer bowl combine 1 cup of the flour, the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add mashed bananas; shortening, margarine or butter; and milk. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed till blended, then on high speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla, and remaining flour; beat till blended. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.
Pour batter into a greased 8x4x2-inh loaf pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 55 to 60 minutes or till a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Remove from the pan; cool thoroughly on a wire rack. Wrap and store overnight before slicing. Makes 1 loaf (16 servings)
