Quick bread

HEAT oven to 350F.

HEAT chocolate, unwrapped, in microwavable bowl on
HIGH 1 to 2 minutes or until almost melted, stirring
halfway through heating time. Remove from oven. Stir
until chocolate is completely melted; set aside.

MIX flour, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Beat
eggs in medium bowl; stir in melted chocolate, sugar,
buttermilk, 1/2 cup oil and banana. Add to flour
mixture; stir just until moistened. (Batter will be
lumpy.) Stir in 2 cups of the cereal. Spoon batter
into greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

CRUSH remaining 1/2 cup cereal in small bowl. Drizzle
with 1 teaspoon oil; stir until crumbly. Sprinkle
evenly over batter.

BAKE 50 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in
center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from
pan. Cool completely on wire rack.

Melting Chocolate Technique:

1. Place chocolate squares in small heavy saucepan on low
heat. Stir constantly until chocolate is completely melted.
Remove from heat immediately. Add to recipe as directed.

2. OR, place chocolate squares in top
portion of double boiler or in bowl over
a larger pan of simmering, not boiling,
water. Stir occasionally until chocolate
is completely melted. Note: Be careful
not to get any water in the melted
chocolate or it will "seize" and become
grainy.

to form a soft dough.
