Banana & Chocolate Cake/Loaf/Muffins

I make this almost weekly, I just always seem to have some old bananas that need using.  I make this as a cake, loaf, muffins or mini muffins.  They all work equally well.

FROM:  I don't know, have had this recipe for so long!

INGREDIENTS:

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
2 mashed bananas (approx. 1/2 cup)
1 3/4 cups flour (or a mixture of white and wholemeal)
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup yoghurt
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup walnuts/brazil nuts (optional)


METHOD:
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line your pan baking paper.
Beat sugar and oil together.
Beat eggs in one by one, mix in the banana.
Mix baking soda with yoghurt, add to banana mixture along with chocolate bits and nuts (if using).
Sift over flour and salt.  Stir to combine.
Pour into tin and bake for 1 hour or until a skewer comes out clean.

TIPS:

Baking times vary for muffins etc.
Freezes well.
