best banana bread

This recipe was given to my Mom by one of her friend Linda a long time ago. It’s dead easy and makes a very moist loaf with a crispy outside.

3 banana’s mashed
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Cream the margarine and sugar together. Add eggs and beat until light and fluffy. Mix dry ingredients in a small bowl. Add dry ingredients alternately with banana to butter mixture (ie. add 1/3 of dry then 1/3 of banana etc) until well mixed. Mix in chocolate chips, if using. Pour into buttered loaf pan. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.

Alternatives:
Replace 1/2 cup of flour with 1/2 cup oats.
