Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

What you need:
6 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs beaten
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp baking soda
4 cups flour
1 bag dark chocolate chips (Ghirardelli 60% chips work nicely)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix together ingredients through baking soda. Add flour and mix until just blended, taking care not to overmix. Fill two greased loaf pans 3/4 full. You can also bake these as cupcakes. Fill the pan 3/4 full and bake about an hour or when a toothpick comes out clean.

These loaves freeze very well. Wrap, when cool, with plastic wrap then aluminum foil. Will keep for one month in the freezer.

Optional: Slice banana bread, then toast and add a schmear of cream cheese or butter.
