Red Velvet Banana Bread

OK Let's face it...it's not bread, it's cake! So yes, I'm having cake for breakfast Christmas morning!

1 - 468g pkg red velvet cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 ripe bananas
6 oz mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
4 oz white chocolate melting discs
1 tsp shortening
sprinkles

Mix the cake mix, eggs, veg oil and bananas together and beat for 2 minutes. Then stir in the mini choco chips and nuts. Holy cow this batter is really RED! (it's my 1st red velvet anything)

Pour batter into pans. I made 3 - 3 X 5" and 8 - 3 X 2" mini loaves. For the 3 X 5" aluminum pans I lined them with parchment so I could easily remove them baked, decorate then return to the pan for gift-giving.

Bake at 350F for 40 minutes.

Cool on racks. Once cooled remove from pans.

Microwave white chocolate discs 30 seconds at a time on high, stirring until smooth. Stir in shortening. Add more until drizzling consistency.

Spoon it into a pastry bag or ziplock with corner cut out and drizzle away. Don't forget to add the sprinkles.

Once set they are ready to wrap and put away. (After a taste test of course1)
