2 C sugar
1 stick butter, softened
4 eggs, beaten (sometimes I use egg substitute)
4 really ripe bananas, mashed
1 t vanilla
(optional: 1 t rum extract)
2 C flour
1/4 t salt
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
1/2 bag of miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1 C toasted pecans *, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare two 3 x 5-inch loaf pans (I usually just grease with some shortening).
In large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, bananas and extracts. Mix well. In separate bowl, mix together dry ingredients. Add to banana mixture. Mix in chocolate chips and nuts. Pour into the prepared loaf pans. Bake for 50 minutes or until done. Cool on baking rack for about 10 to 15 minutes before taking loaves out of pans. Cool loaves on the racks to room temperature, then wrap in plastic. Enjoy!
*Toasting Pecans
I do this in the microwave by putting the nuts in a microwave-safe dish and cooking on high for about 3 minutes. Depending on the microwave oven, should check every minute or so to avoid burning the nuts. Let cool before chopping.
