I just made my favorite banana bread. I had these three banana's just sitting around for the last four days calling to me to make them into a bread.
The recipe is from a cookbook I got at a discount bookstore. It's called The Inn Cook Book, Favorite Recipes from New England Country Inns, by Igor and Marjorie Kropotkin. I don't know if it's even in print now or not, but this recipe is the best one I've used (and it's super, duper easy). I just did a Google search by the author's name and you can still buy this book. I haven't tried much else in it yet, but it's got some interesting and different things.
Banana Bread
3 very ripe bananas
1 cup sugar
1 egg
3 tablespoons veg. oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups cake flour (reg sifted works too)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat your oven to 400 deg (F). Grease and lightly flour a loaf pan. Peel the bananas and mash them, then add the egg, sugar, oil and vanilla and beat well. Add the flour and soda and salt and beat until smooth. Pour into pan and put in oven, and immediately reduce the heat to 350 deg. Bake about 45 minutes or until toothpick is dry when poked in the middle of the bread. Remove from the pan and enjoy. (I also put about 1/2 cup of choc. chips in. Yum!)
Doesn't last too long in my house!

I have three perfect bananas just sitting here waiting to be made into banana bread but my favorite recipe calls for buttermilk and I keep forgetting to buy the darn buttermilk. Yours sounds yummy! I never thought to put chocolate chips in banana bread. Mmmmmm!!
