Chocolate Swirl Banana Bread

( If you follow the recipe than your bread actually won't look like these. We make this on a weekly basis, so sometimes my steps skip around and I'll throw in a zucchini or two. ;) Gotta love cooking deceptively- but nutritiously and delicious! L will usually eat her own loaf within a couple of days.)

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 c. Flour

1/4 c. sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

Pinch of Salt

1 cup chocolate chips + a few extras for the top ( I use a mixture of milk and white)

2 cups of ripe bananas ( about 4)

1/2 cup melted butter

1/4 c milk

2 eggs

Steps:

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees

-In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips. Set aside.

-In another bowl, mix together bananas, butter, milk and eggs. pour over flour mixture and stir just until combined.

-Divide between 2 loaf pans.

-Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top (up to you how much).

- Put loaves in oven for 3 minutes. Remove and run a butter knife through each loaf lengthwise and widthwise to swirl the chocolate around. ( I used a sawing motion so I didn't drag the batter all over the place.)

-Return loaves to oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
