Banana Bread

I love a dessert that you can also justify as “breakfast” – this happens to be one of them.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 stick of  butter or margarine, melted
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup mashed bananas (3)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup nuts (optional)

HOW TO MAKE IT

• In a bowl, combine these dry ingredients: flour, salt and baking soda
• Using a mixer, blend the melted butter, eggs and sugar
• Add the dry ingredients to the mixer and mix until well blended
• Add in the mashed bananas and mix again, but don’t over-work
• Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts if desired
• Bake at 350°F for one hour
