Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread
Only one bowl to wash. No special tools required. And a loaf of moist and sweet banana bread studded with chocolate chunks in around one hour!
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed bananas about 3 medium ripe bananas
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ¾ cup wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan with nonstick baking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, mash 3 bananas with a fork. Stir in the brown sugar, then add butter, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream. Mix again to make sure everything is well combined.
- Add the all purpose flour, wheat flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cinnamon to the mixing bowl. Lightly stir the dry ingredients without disturbing the banana mixture below. Then stir again, mixing the dry ingredients with the wet until everything is well combined.
- Stir the chocolate chunks into the batter, but reserve a few to press into the top of the loaf, if desired.
- Spread the banana bread batter into the prepared 9x5 loaf pan. Top with more chocolate chunks, if desired.
- Bake at 350 for one hour to 1 hour 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. If the top of the loaf becomes too brown before the baking time is over, loosely tent the banana bread with aluminum foil.
