Banana Bread

This is a tried and true recipe from the Fanny Farmer Cookbook (my copy is quite dogeared). The chocolate chips is my addition. For a more healthy twist, you could substitute 1/2 cup of the flour with ground flax seed. :-)

3 ripe bananas, well mashed
2 eggs, well beaten
2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 coarsely chopped walnuts (or chocolate chips)

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a loaf pan.

Mix the bananas and eggs together in a large bowl. Stir in the flour, sugar, salt and baking soda. Add the walnuts and blend. Put the batter in the pan and bake for 1 hour. Remove from the pan to a rack to cool. Serve still warm or cooled, as you like it.
