Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

Whether you are looking to entertain guests, baking project with the kids, or simply to satisfy that sweet tooth of yours, this recipe is a must try. This Banana Chocolate Chip Bread requires minimal ingredients and effort. Yet, it turns out delish!

Ingredients:

• 2 large ripe or over-ripe bananas (If small, use 4)
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup melted butter (salted)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ¼ cup sugar (If you like extra sweet, then add ½ cup)
• 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
• Chocolate chips (I used ¼ cup but you can use more/less depending on your preference)

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 F
2. Mash Bananas in a bowl

3. Mix together all purpose flour, sugar and baking soda in a separate bowl

4. Beat the egg and mix with melted butter (make sure to cool the butter a little else the eggs will start to cook if too hot!)

5. Add the dry ingredients to the mashed bananas, slowly, in about 3 parts while folding gently with a spatula

6. Add the melted butter and egg mixture and chocolate chips and continue folding

7. Fold until well combined, but do not over fold

8. Lightly grease the baking pan or you can line with baking paper

9. Evenly spread the mixture in the pan

10. Place the pan on the center rack of the oven and bake for 45 minutes (the time may vary depending on oven, so after 45 min, insert a tooth pick in the bread and if it comes out clean, it is done)
11. Serve fresh out of the oven or allow to cool and enjoy!

Tips:

• Do not over mix as it will dry out the bread
• Do not over bake as that will also dry out the bread
• Incase your bread does turn out dry, put it in the toaster oven at 400 F for 2-3 minutes. Spread some butter and serve. It will really moist the bread
• Spread some butter even if bread is already moist! It just tastes delicious!
• The bread can be stored on the counter for 3-4 days
