Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

I got this recipe from The Friend Magazine this month and we have already made it twice. It is really good...probably because of the chocolate chips - they make everything better!

Chocolate-Chip Banana Bread

• 1/2 cup butter or margarine at room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup (about 3) mashed very ripe bananas
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I added more)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Mix the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until they are light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix them into the butter mixture. Mix in the bananas, yogurt, and vanilla. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the pan. Sprinkle a few more chocolate chips on top. Bake 55-60 minutes. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then turn it out onto a rack to cool.

Enjoy!
