Kitchen gadgets needed: mixing bowl, spoon, measuring cups, electric mixer (or whisk), baking pan (a 9" x 5" loaf pan is preferred, but a muffin tin or 8"x8" round can also work), oven, oven mitts
Ingredients
  • 1 cup mashed banana (about 2-3 bananas)
  • ½ cup shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1¼ cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease the bottom and sides of the baking pan (just dab a little shortening on a paper towel and rub down the inside of the pan).
  2. Blend all of the ingredients -- except the chocolate chips -- together in the mixing bowl to form the batter. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  3. Bake for 55-60 minutes if using a loaf pan (about 25-30 if using muffin tins), or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. (Crumbs are okay; gooey batter is not).
