For this assignment, i decided to make something that i really liked whenever one of my friends made for me or my family; Banana bread. Its probably one of my favorite foods, probably because to me it tastes really good with Chocolate chips and i have a big sweet tooth. I chose to prepare this dish because i really like banana bread and it would be fun to make something with my mom, who helped me during it. Some of the ingredients i had to get from my grandmother since we didn’t have them where i was, like the Bananas and the chocolate chips i wanted to add. We also didn’t have enough sugar for one of the batches, so we had to use less for the one in the more solid tin.
As you can see, I took this picture as i was mixing all the ingredients together. This recipe was given to my family by my Grandma on my moms side who bakes, and there are a bunch of different recipes inside of the recipe book. I never made this banana bread before with this recipe before, so i had my mom to help me make it. We each made our separate batches, and i watched my mom do the step first before i did it so i knew what to do based off of what she was doing.
Me and my mom both made separate batches, like i had said before. I added more chocolate chips to mine, And both of the eggs we put in ours were different colors. My batch that i made is in the clear container and the one my mom made was in the solid container
The banana bread turned out really well, and the batch that i had made was basically gone by the time i went to get my other piece. I also had given a piece of the banana bread to my Grandma, and she said it tasted really good. Since the banana bread in the solid tin had less sugar in it, we added less chocolate chips into that one so if anyone wanted anything less sweet they could eat that one.
The recipe for the banana bread called for:
1/2 cup of Butter or margarine
1 cup of Sugar
2 Eggs
1 cup of mashed very ripe bananas (3 medium)
1 3/4 cups of all purpose flour
1 tsp of Baking Soda
1/2 tsp of baking power
1/2 tsp of salt
And 1 cup of chopped walnuts, but instead of this i decided to put 3/4 cups of chocolate chips. you can make the batch with or without them.
