Notes:
You can also make this recipe as muffins! To do so, make the batter exactly the same way and bake in a greased muffin tin (or mini muffin tin) for 25-30 minutes.Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 heaping tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp cloves
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips, plus ~ ¼ cup extra
- Optional: ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth, then add the melted butter and stir until well combined.
- Add the brown sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and flour and stir until the batter is smooth. Mix in ½ cup mini chocolate chips (and the dark chocolate chips if you're using those).
- Grease a loaf pan with butter and line with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and top with the additional mini chocolate chips.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the loaf pan and let cool on a wire rack before slicing to serve.
- Store leftovers in a large ziploc bag for up to 1 week. For longest shelf life, only slice the amount you intend to eat at that moment and store the rest as a loaf.
