Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup neutral cooking oil mild flavored, generic cooking oil
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 egg
  • 3 banana mashed or 2 larger ones
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour fluffed, spooned and leveled, not scooped. Can use regular whole wheat or all purpose as well.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or more to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. With a whisk or in a mixer, mix together the oil, sugar, eggs, mashed banana, milk and vanilla.
  2. Combine the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips, then mix them into to the first mixture. If batter seems dry, add 1-2 T extra milk. Fold in chocolate chips.
  3. Pour into a greased (I use Pam) 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 about 50-60 minutes, testing for doneness with toothpick.
  4. Let cool about 5 minutes in pan to facilitate the release. (Run a thin knife around the edge of the bread if needed.) Tip pan upside down to release the bread and set onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
  5. Enjoy.
