Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

my mom used to make this recipe when I was still living at home & it's been a favorite of mine since. And now, it's my little family's favorite banana bread too. The twins love it, Matt loves it, I love it.... anyone who ever tries it, loves it. I mean, who wouldn't...there's chocolate chips in it. And it's banana bread, so it's totally acceptable to eat for breakfast right?? right. The boys have been helping me make this since they were big enough to sit on the counter! It's super easy + it's perfect to make with kids while we are all stuck inside during this quarantine. Stay healthy, friends! & happy baking!
(this only makes 1 bread. I had 4 bananas to use, so I made 2)

CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD

2 eggs

2 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 cup ripe bananas (I usually do 2 bigger bananas)

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup of chocolate chips

1. preheat oven to 350
2. grease bottom + sides of a loaf pan
3. combine all ingredients (except for the chocolate chips), + mix at medium speed until well combined.
4. Stir in chocolate chips & pour batter into prepared loaf pan
5. bake for 60-65 minutes

Let me know if you make it!! I'd love to see what you think of it! :) xoxo

**side note: if you have bananas and they aren't ripe yet: put foil on a sheet pan & place bananas directly on the foil. Bake at 300 for 15-20 minutes & you'll have perfectly ripened bananas for bread, muffins, etc.!**
