Butterscotch Banana Bread

Okay so last year while still in Kansas, my husband went into some kind of baking frenzy and bought three bags of butterscotch chips, white & chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and mint chips. He thought he would be baking a lot and when we moved, these bags of choco chips, etc... moved with us.

So what's a girl to do with three bags of butterscotch chips? Why make butterscotch banana bread of course. Now I have two more bags left. (The chocolate chips & pb chips went fast).

Here is the recipe stolen from recipezaar - it turned out pretty well I think. I'll have cake with my afternoon tea tomorrow. Jack will have it with ice cream probably.

2 large eggs
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup milk
1 cup nuts, chopped (optional)
6 ounces butterscotch chips

DIRECTIONS:

2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; set aside.
3. Combine mashed bananas, sugar, eggs and melted butter. Blend well.
