Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

I had some banana's that were getting pretty ripe so I decided to make up a quick batch of banana bread.  I happen to have some chocolate chips on hand, so of course I had to add them!  Here is what I used...


1 cup flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
4 medium overripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/4tsp cinnamon (or to taste)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chocolate chips

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease loaf pan (or muffintin, if you prefer)
In a large bowl, combine banana, sugar, egg, vanilla and oil.  Mix well. Use a small mesh colander and sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda andsalt on top of the wet ingredients and then stir to combine. This will save you from dirtying a second bowl. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan (or muffin cups). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a bread comes out clean. It took me about 45 minutes.  Muffins will bake faster.  Letcool before serving.

This was pretty delicious. I topped it with some homemade whipped cream.   I think next time I'll add a little homemade almond butter to the mix because what could possibly be better than almond butter, banana, and chocolate???

Enjoy

  2. I did a loaf of your banana bread last weekend, was awesome. We ate it that day there wasn't even a crumb. Will be making again when bananas are ready.
