List of Ingredients






1/2 cup butter -- at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 eggs -- lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups mashed overripe bananas (3 or 4)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup buttermilk -- (recipe called for sour milk)
2 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 c semisweet chocolate chips


Recipe






Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Grease loaf pan.

In a medium bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add softened butter and, using a pastry cutter or knife, blend butter/flour until consistency is like coarse bread crumbs.

Add sugar and, using a fork, blend into flour. Add currants and blend until coated with flour mixture.

Add remaining ingredients and, using wooden spoon, fold into flour mixture just enough to moisten.

Pour into loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes. Test for doneness with a skewer or knife.
