What's a food board without a favorite banana bread thread? Gotta change that.
Last week I made one of my favorite CL recipes to bring to a meeting:
Marbled-Chocolate Banana Bread, CL September 2003 (I always use real butter, and I've made it with egg sub and eggs, different types of yog)
Chocolate and bananas are a natural pair. Toast and top with a spoonful of peanut butter for breakfast.
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 bananas)
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Cooking spray
1. Preheat over to 350 degrees.
2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt, stirring with a whisk.
3. Place sugar and butter in a large bowl, beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute). Add banana, egg substitute, and yogurt; beat until blended. Add flour mixture, beat at low speed just until moist.
4. Place chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl, and microwave at High 1 minute or until almost melted, stirring until smooth. Cool slightly. Add 1 cup batter to chocolate, stirring until well combined. Spoon chocolate batter alternately with plain batter into an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Swirl batters together using a knife. Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.
Yield: 1 loaf; 16 slices (serving size: 1 slice) ------- Not when I slice it.

And, this smittenkitchen recipe for a double chocolate banana bread is GREAT! So good that I won't make it, unless giving the whole thing away.

And a picture from the site. (sorry that pic is so large).
