banana bread.with love



banana bread is a total comfort food that is a staple in our home.  the aroma of it when i take it out of the oven almost always has the kids running over and asking me what i have baked (unless they were busy watching cinderella and pretending to be princesses).  i always buy a large batch of bananas and make two loaves at a time because you can't have banana bread without also having a loaf loaded with chocolate chips.  b loves to take it for breakfast at work, it's easy, wholesome and filled with love.


(yields one loaf)
3 or 4 large bananas (4 bananas makes it extra moist, which we prefer)
1/3 cup melted butter
1 slightly beaten large egg
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional but, it's a good option)

* preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit
* in a large mixing bowl, mash up the bananas 
* add the butter and egg and mix together
* in a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together
* mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and pour into a loaf pan
* bake for one hour
* cool in the loaf pan and enjoy the best banana bread *ever*!!!
