Monkey Bread "aka Banan Bread"

I am determined to find easy recipes that I can bake with Aj. This week, a perfect opportunity presented it self, we had a bunch of banana's go bad so I thought I would make some Banana bread with a twist. This was the easiest recipe that I found and it was a hit. With the few ingredients it made it easier for me to measure and let Aj pour. I did mash up the banana's but can see him loving this task as he gets older.
It taste pretty good too!


Ingredients
2 Cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs beaten
2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas (5 medium bananas)
1 cup chocolate chips (that's our twist :-)
Directions
1. Preheat over to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir Banana mixture and chocolate chips into flour mixture: stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake in preheated over for 60 to 65 minutes. until a toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes. then turn out onto a wire rack.
