1-POUND LOAF (1 1/2-POUND LOAF)
1/3 cup skim milk (1/2)
1/3 cup mashed very ripe bananas (1/2 cup)
1 large egg (1)
1 tablespoon butter or margarine (1 tbls)
3/4 teaspoon salt (1 tsp)
2 cups bread flour (3 cups)
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate pieces (1/3 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast (2 tsp)
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.
Use the 1-pound recipe if your machine pan holds 10 cups or less of water. Add ingredients to bread machine pan in the order suggested by manufacturer, adding mashed bananas with milk, and semisweet chocolate pieces 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.
