This chocolate chip banana bread recipe makes two really moist, rich loaves. Great for breakfast or warm with butter as a dessert. The walnuts may be omitted if desired.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup shortening
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 6 verys ripe bananas , mashed
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cups chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, cream together shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Stir in mayonnaise and bananas. Stir together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Blend flour mixture into banana mixture; stir just enough to evenly combine. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts.

  3. 3
