3/4 cup of sugar

3/4 cup vegetable oil

2 eggs

3 large very ripe bananas, mashed

2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. vanilla

1cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 325 degrees.Mix together sugar, oil, and eggs. Add bananas. Stir in the rest of the ingredients. Pour into well-oiled loaf pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes (or until toothpick inserted into center of the bread comes out clean.) Cool at least 10 minutes before sliding out of pan. Let cool completely before slicing. This bread freezes very well. I often make two loaves and freeze one for later.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix oil with sugar using a fork. Add eggs one at a time and add honey. Slowly add flour and baking powder. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
