Total Calories: 197

Ingredients

2/3 cup water
2/3 cup mashed ripe banana
2 tablespoons margarine or butter, softened
1 whole egg
3 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine or quick active dry yeast
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Measure carefully, placing all ingredients except chocolate chips in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Add chocolate chips at the Raisin/Nut signal.

Select Sweet or Basic/White cycle. Use Medium or Light crust color. Do not use delay cycles. Remove baked bread from pan, and cool on wire rack.

SUCCESS TIP
If your bread machine has a 2-pound vertical pan, the loaf will be short, but still will have good texture and flavor. If your bread machine has a horizontal pan, however, there isn't enough dough to make a good loaf of baked bread.

SUCCESS TIP
If your bread machine doesn't have a Raisin/Nut signal, add the nuts 5 to 10 minutes before the last kneading cycle ends. Check your bread machine's use-and-care book to find out how long the last cycle runs.

SUCCESS TIP
Depending on the ripeness of your bananas, the dough may need a little more flour than the recipe recommends. Five minutes after the cycle begins, check the consistency of the dough. If the dough is not forming a ball and seems too wet, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a soft dough forms.
