Thanks, Kathy. It's funny you should bring this up, because that is
exactly what I made. I couldn't get through to SOAR (never seem to be
able to), so I found a regular recipe for chocolate chip banana nut
bread and tried it in the bread machine. I wasn't sure if it would work
as it's not a yeast bread (which all bread machine recipes seem to call
for), but it turned out fine. Most of the chips melted making a brown
loaf, but some of the chips were still entact. It really was a
delicious loaf. Here's the recipe if anyone is interested:
Banana Bread With Chocolate Chips And Walnuts
1?? cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
?? teaspoon salt
?? cup semisweet chocolate chips
?? cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
?? cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
?? cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1?? teaspoons vanilla extract

Julie,
Soar has a new home

I never used to be able to get in either, but I always can now.

You mean there actually is a recipe in a book for it?
And I thought I was being so creative...
