Banana bread has always been a favorite in our home, writes Lisa Green of Kunkletown, Pennsylvania. As I was mixing up a batch one afternoon, I decided to add a cup of oatmeal and some chocolate chips. The yummy result was an immediate hit! Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1-1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (3 to 4 medium) |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup quick-cooking oats |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in bananas. Combine the flour, oats, salt, baking powder and baking soda; gradually add to the creamed mixture, stirring just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips.
2. Pour into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices).
