This bread is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S. And by bananas, I mean crazy good. It’s moist and flavorful, packed with four ripe bananas, chocolate chips, and a little of my secret ingredient – strong, freshly brewed coffee. The hint of coffee enhances the banana and chocolate flavors perfectly and you don’t even know it’s in there. It’s just that little extra bit of love mixed in. This loaf doesn’t last a day in my house (I leave it out on the counter and it magically disappears), so it proves to be a very expedient use of ripe bananas around here.
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Moist banana bread studded with chocolate chips.
Servings: 10 slices
Calories: 283kcal
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe bananas
- ⅓ cup butter melted
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup brewed coffee
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease a loaf pan.
- Peel bananas, break them up and toss them into a bowl. Mash with a potato masher (I leave some banana pieces so you get occasional nice bites of banana in the bread; don't mash until the bananas are completely liquefied).
- To the bananas, add the rest of the wet ingredients and stir with a wooden or plastic spoon. Add dry ingredients and stir until combined. Do not over mix. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes or until center springs back when lightly touched.
- Remove from oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it out of the pan onto a wire cooling rack.
