Since it's Father's Day and Munchkie's Daddy was taking a nap, when I heard "Daaaaaaaaddddddddyyyyyy I waaaaaaaaaake uuuuuuuup!" I decided that I would go ahead and wake up (I was sleeping all day after working that night) and get Munchkie. Ever since our oven was fixed I have been itching to bake something besides bread or chicken. I have been searching through our Food Network magazines and decided that we actually had the ingredients for this recipe. However, I didn't pay attention to how long the cook time was, I was almost late for work waiting to pull it from the oven and had to completely forgo the "cooling time."
Mix-and-Match Quick Bread
How fun is that? Each issue they have a mix and match recipe for all kinds of things from chocolate bark to ice tea to quick bread. You choose your mix-ins and then follow the standard recipe, anything that I can alter is fun for me. I made the banana chocolate bread with Munchkie's help. That girl loves bananas, but she loves chocolate more, I had to keep her from digging the chocolate chips out of the batter. While I think it will be a complete mess, she will love the bread.
My version of the Chocolate Banana Bread
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup mashed banana (2)
Changes I will make for next time - read through and pull ingredients out before I start, add 1/4 cup more flour, and skip the zest. My bread looked absolutely nothing like the one in the magazine, so in addition to this I think that I need new baking soda and baking powder. I'm definitely going to try it again.
