Banana chocolate chip bread
First things first: does anyone out there ever buy the correct number of bananas? In my house they are either all gone in a single day or the whole bunch is brown. Is there any in-between? Does that even exist?
I can’t help it…I see brown bananas and I think banana bread. And I wasn’t even going to post this but I’ve had so many DM me from my stories for the recipe so what the hell…
My banana bread recipe rules.
XO, km
THE DISH:
Banana chocolate chip bread | makes 3 small or 1 big loaf
THE STUFF:
2 cups AP flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
6 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
3 bananas, the browner the better
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup plain (or vanilla) Greek yogurt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
(Add 1 cup chopped walnuts if you like…my kids don’t:)
THE HOW-TO:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a standard loaf pan or 3 mini pans with nonstick spray or butter.
In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time and then the bananas and vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture and then the chocolate chips.
Pour into the prepared pans and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 55 minutes for a standard loaf pan and 45 minutes for the minis. Yes, you can also do these as muffins (about 18 minutes) or mini muffins (about 14 minutes).
