1 cup sugar
 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
 2 eggs
 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)
 1/2 cup milk
 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
 2 cups all-purpose flour
 1 teaspoon baking soda
 1 teaspoon salt
 1 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips
 1/2 cup nuts (optional)
 Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan.
 Cream the sugar and butter with an electric mixer until light.
 Add the eggs and mix well. On low speed, mix in the bananas, milk,
 and vanilla. Stop the mixer and add the flour, baking soda and
 salt.  Mix until just combined, then stir in the mini chocolate
 chips and nuts.
 Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until a wooden pick inserted
 in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.  Cool in the pan
 5 minutes, turn onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
 NOTE:  Mini chocolate chips work better than regular chips because
 the regular size ones tend to sink to the bottom of the loaf during
 baking.
