Ingredients
- ¾ C all-purpose flour
- ¾ C cake flour
- 3 banana mashed, ripe
- 2 egg large
- ¼ C avocado oil or neutral vegetable oil
- ¼ C sour cream or yogurt
- 5 tablespoon granulated sugar depends on how sweet your bananas are
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ C semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C.
- Line an 8" by 4" loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, use a fork to mash the banana.
- Add in the eggs, avocado oil and vanilla extract and give it a whisk.
- Stir in the yogurt/sour cream, sugar, and sift in the cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder.
- Add in the all-purpose and cake flour and use a spatula to fold until just incorporated.
- Lastly, fold in the chocolate chunks.
- Transfer the mixture to a prepared loaf pan. Give the pan a few taps to release any trapped air bubbles.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes at 350°F/177°C, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with slight crumbs clinging to it.
- If the top appears to brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil. Note 1: Depending on your oven, it may require more or less baking time. Note 2: If you stick the toothpick into chocolate or a chunk of banana, it could "appear" wet.
- Remove from the baking pan and let completely cool on a wire rack.
- Slice and serve.
