Ultimate Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

My first ever attempt at making up a baking recipe with out a guide. Even I was astounded when it turned out the first time!!! I will tweak
 recipes when I cook, but I'll have the original recipe to guide me. This one is all on me! and it turned out FANTASTIC!!!!!

I used the Foil baking pans, they are a little smaller than a regular size loaf pan, so I was able to make two loaves. I'll use the smaller bread pans for selling this Fall at the Schroeder Christmas Bazaar. But as far as Banana Bread goes, this one turned out so moist, and the chocolate did not overpower the banana flavor.

1 3/4 Cups Bread Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
2 Teaspoons Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
3/4 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Oil
4 Very Ripe Bananas, Mashed

3 Tablespoons Sour Cream
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1/4 Cup Chocolate Syrup
1 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Whisk together Flour, Baking Soda,Cinnamon, and Sea Salt.
Using a whisk attachment on your mixer, Beat Sugar and Eggs until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Add Mashed Bananas, Sour Cream, Vanilla,and Chocolate Syrup.
Add Chocolate chips to Flour mixture.
Fold the Sugar and Egg mixture into the dry ingredients.
Pour into loaf Pan.
Bake for about 45 minutes to an hour, when a skewer comes out clean, it is done.

A Perfect Day

Image
It is foggy and dark outside. A perfect day to let the mind wander. It is a full day of Julia Child today, that's been fun this morning. I will get to the movie, maybe this week. Julie & Julia I think it's called. But I learned the secret of popovers! You learn something new everyday. Don't use a pan, use separate custard cups, leaving room between them for the heat to circle, and that is what will make them really pop up. I think I will make some on Monday, I will be home for dinner, so I will make popovers and a shrimp salad. I will be able to use fresh peas. And I am making pesto, Have everything I need, think I will freeze in ice cube trays, then use when needed. And If I want fresh pesto, I only need to buy a container of basil, add a few ice cubes, made it stretch. Pick Sage to dry also, and I have a sage that is getting crowded out, gonna have to move that baby to it's own pot. And with this rain, weeds are growing again. I am hoping Monday is a sunny hot day

That is the story of my magic shovel.
