Low fat banana choc chip loaf

Baking on a Monday just feels so wrong. But I was away for the weekend, and Tom has no morning tea (because caramel popcorn and vege chips are too girly apparently!) so I thought I'd best use the bananas that I took from work so that I could bake with them.

• 2/3 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup margarine, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup mashed bananas
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

- Preheat oven to 170 deg C

- Beat butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs water and banana and mix.

- Add flour, salt, soda and baking powder and stir to combine. Pour into a greased loaf tin.

- Bake for approx. 60 minutes until brown and pulling away from the edges.

Verdict - YUM! A bit heavier than I like my banana cake to be, but this is a loaf after all. I added the perfect amount of chocolate chips, not so many that your hands were covered in melted chocolate after eating it. And it lasted all week without going dry/mouldy! Success.
