1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 ripe bananas
2 cups flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 bag of chocolate chips
Cream shortening and sugar well. Add beaten eggs. Add flour sifted with soda and mashed bananas. Stir in chocolate chips!
Bake at 350 for 1 hour or (I do four mini loaves at 350 for about 25 minutes)!
Enjoy!
