Banana Bread
Banana bread is a favorite snack adults and kids alike, and an ecient use for
overripe bananas. Adding cinnamon and chocolate chips gives this classic a
deliciously unique twist.
INGREDIENTS
– 3 large, ripe bananas
– ⁄ cup unsalted butter, melted
– ⁄ cup light brown sugar, firmly
packed
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– ⁄ teaspoon kosher salt
– 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
– ⁄ teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ⁄ cup cocoa powder
– ⁄ cup chocolate chips
PREPARATION METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 350°F on the Bake
Mode with a rack set on position “3.”
2. Spray a 9-by-5 inch loaf pan with
nonstick cooking spray. 3. In medium
bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
Add the melted butter and stir to
combine. 4. Add the brown sugar, egg,
vanilla, baking soda, and salt and whisk
until well combined. 5. Add 1 cup of the
flour, stirring gently until the flour just
disappears. 6. Pour half of the batter
into a second bowl. 7. In one bowl of
batter, add the remaining 1/4 cup of
flour and cinnamon. Stir to combine. In
the other bowl of batter, add the cocoa
powder and chocolate chips. Stir to
combine. 8. Alternating between the
two bowls, add spoonfuls of the batters
into the 9-by-5 inch pan. 9. Using a
butter knife, make a few figure-eights
through the combined batters to marble
them. 10. Place the loaf pan into the
oven and bake 55-65 minutes, until a
toothpick inserted into the center of
the loaf comes out clean. Allow the pan
to cool for 10 minutes. After cooling,
run a knife around the edge of the
pan and invert the loaf onto a cooling
rack. Allow to cool before serving.
