Fleeing from fruit flies

There is only one thing to do when the bananas on your kitchen counter are on the verge of breeding fruit flies: chocolate chip banana bread!

I have a recipe that I adapted from my mother in-law. It has no eggs in it and I now swap out a little whole wheat flour to make it seem "healthier". Just ignore the fact it has a stick of butter in it and tons of sugar. Shh!


Chernof banana bread
1/2 c butter, softened
1/2 c sugar
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 tbsp sour cream
3 tbsp milk
1 t vanilla
1/4c whole wheat flour
3/4c all purpose flour
1 t soda
1 t baking powder
1 pinch of kosher salt
1/2 c chopped pecans
1/2 c chocolate chips
1-2 tbsp sugar in the raw (optional

Preheat oven 350 degrees
1. blend flour, baking power and soda. set aside
2. cream butter and sugar
3. add mashed bananas, milk, sour cream and vanilla
4. mix in flour mixture
5. add nuts and chocolate chips
6. pour into greased loaf pan, sprinkle with sugar in the raw
7. bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour

The new thing I tried is something I normally do for muffins. I sprinkled raw sugar on the top before baking. Crunchy! My kids loved it for breakfast smeared with nutella.

Now Bake That!
