Banana Split Bread

Kyla made this bread earlier this week, and since I'm on a "no carb" diet I didn't get to taste any!:(  But all my kiddo's absolutely LOVED it!  And I let them tank it down because it smelled so good and I knew if it was in my kitchen lookin' all inviting and stuff it wouldn't be long before I gave in!  So they ate the entire loaf all in one evening!  I know...Mom of the year award!:)  I blame my lack of having any self-control when it comes to baked goods!  Try it out and let me know if you like it as much as my kids!

PRINT RECIPE

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large)

3 tablespoons milk

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in the egg.  In a small bowl, combine bananas and milk.  In another bowl combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture alternately with banana mixture.  Fold in the chips and pecans.

Pour into a greased loaf pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes 1 loaf....(good thing it wasn't more or I'd have made my kids sick!:))
