Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Classic banana bread studded with chocolate. Yields 2 loaves or 16 thick slices.
Ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semis-weet chocolate chips or wafers
Instructions
- Generously butter and flour two 9x5x3 loaf pans.
- Preheat your oven to 325℉ (or 160℃).
- In a medium bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, whisk to combine. Then in a smaller bowl, combine the 3 bananas, milk, cinnamon and nutmeg by mashing with a fork. Set both bowls off to the side for a moment.
- Next, in the bowl of your mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add in one egg at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the vanilla and banana mixture and mix until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed, until incorporated. Lastly, stir in the chocolate chips.
- Divide batter among the two prepared pans and slide them into your preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean with only a few crumbs attached. Make sure to rotate the pans halfway throughout baking time.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before serving.
