Best Banana Bread

The Best Fluffy Banana Bread with chocolate chips or chopped nuts is not only the best way to use up over-ripe bananas, but it's possibly the best thing you can pair with your morning coffee! Better than anything store-bought, our banana bread is buttery, moist and smells amazing while baking! Every bite is pure heaven!

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 medium ripe bananas about 1 pound or 500g

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan and line with parchment (baking) paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugars, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a separate medium-sized bowl mash the bananas really well. Then add the eggs, cooled melted butter (or oil), and vanilla.
  4. Using a wooden spoon or spatula lightly fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in half of the chocolate chips (or nuts if using). The batter should be thick and lumpy. (Do not over mix!)
  5. Pour the batter into prepared pan and top with remaining chocolate chips or nuts. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. 
  6. After about a half an hour, turn out onto a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Tip: If you can't choose between nuts and chocolate chips, add both!
