Bread Machine Banana Chocolate Chip Bread
"It's better than a candy bar!" was the verdict from our panel of kid tasters. They thought the chocolate and banana combination was terrific.
Ingredients
1-POUND LOAF:
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup mashed very ripe banana
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups bread flour
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1-1/2 teaspoons Fleischmann's® Bread Machine Yeast
1-1/2-POUND LOAF:
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup mashed very ripe banana
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons Fleischmann's® Bread Machine Yeast
Method
Add ingredients to bread machine pan in the order suggested by manufacturer, adding mashed bananas with milk, and chocolate chips with flour.
Note: How this bread turns out depends on your machine. Some machines will make a smooth chocolate-colored bread. Others will leave bits of chocolate chips, and still others will give a marbled loaf.
Recommended cycle: Basic/white bread cycle; light or medium/normal color setting.
Adjusting Dough Consistency: After mixing for a few minutes, the ingredients should turn into a smooth ball around the kneading blade. If the dough appears too stiff or too soft, add more liquid or flour in 1 teaspoon increments, until the proper consistency is reached. Do not add more than 3 to 4 teaspoons liquid or flour. The machine can not compensate for wide variations and may not bake the larger amount of dough thoroughly.
