Banana Bread Ingredients (1 loaf):
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 large overripe bananas (mashed)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup butter
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- Chocolate chunks (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to about 175⁰C. Grease or spray non-stick cooking spray to a 9×5 inch loaf pan. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix butter and brown sugar for about 4 minutes until the texture is light and fluffy. Then, add in the eggs, vanilla extract and mashed bananas. Mix well and scrape down the sides of the bowl until the mix is fully combined.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until evenly mixed. Then, add in the chunks of chocolate.
- Lay the batter evenly on the loaf pan and bake at 175⁰C for about 1 hour. To test, insert a toothpick into the centre of the bread, and it should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes. Gently remove the bread from the loaf pan and let it cool longer if needed. Enjoy!
