This bread is a pretty addition to the table during the holidays. Cherries, walnuts and chocolate chips give fast festive flair to the loaf of moist banana bread. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1-1/4 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium) |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
1/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Beat in bananas just until combined. Stir in the walnuts, chocolate chips and cherries.
2. Pour into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 70-80 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices).
