Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Has your freezer ever accumulated too many frozen bananas? Well, last week I need to make some freezer room and saw about a half dozen bananas and decided it was time for...Banana Bread!  If you don't know what to do with over ripped bananas, just throw them in the freezer and take them out the night before you want to make some delicious banana bread.

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

3/4 cup ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)

1 1/4 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cream shortening and sugar.  Add eggs one at a time beating well after each.  Stir in mashed bananas.  Mix dry ingredients together, then slowly add in mixer, until just blended together.  Add chocolate chips.  Pour bread mixture into greased and floured bread pan.   Bake for 50 to 55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.  

ENJOY :)
