Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 cup soft brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 6 medium bananas
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 1½ cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment cream the room temperature butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula half way through mixing. Beat the eggs in, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the bananas and vanilla and mix well. The batter will look a little split at this stage but it will come back together once you add the dry ingredients.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix the flour mixture into the butter until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Transfer the batter then place in the oven.
- Allow to bake for 45-60 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cover with a piece of foil half way through baking if the banana loaf is browning too fast.
- It's crucial to allow banana bread to cool completely before slicing. Not only will the bread slice better, the texture will also be better. Allow to cool on a wire rack then slice and serve.
