Ingredients

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

• 8 Oz Unsalted butter
• ¾ Cup light brown sugar, packed
• ¾ Cup granulated sugar
• 3 Large overripe bananas
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 Teaspoon baking soda
• 1 Teaspoon baking powder
• 1 Teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ Teaspoon ground cloves
• ¼ Teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 Cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Part one: If you are using frozen bananas, please be sure to thaw them overnight in the refrigerator. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a bread pan or square brownie pan and set aside.
2. Part two: Place sugars and butter into the bowl of a mixer and cream them together well, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for a few seconds in between each addition. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas up with a fork, and then add them to the mixing bowl. Add the vanilla, spices, baking soda and baking powder and mix well.
3. Part three: Slowly add the flour while mixing on low power so that you do not bump it out of the bowl. Once the flour is mostly incorporated, add the chocolate chips, and mix until just incorporated.
4. Part four: Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and stir in any unmixed bits you find. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place it in the pre-heated oven. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the bread. I like to check the progress at around 30 minutes and adjust my time as needed. Allow the bread to cool before consuming.
5. Serving suggestion: Enjoy on a rainy afternoon with your favorite hot beverage!

7. Measure ingredients
8. Taste the chocolate chips to see if they are “ripe” 😉
9. Mix the ingredients

Notes:

·Got over ripe bananas? No problem! Toss them in the freezer for banana bread when the mood strikes! When they come out of the freezer the skin will be dark all over, do not worry, they are perfect for banana bread! You can certainly skip the freezer if you are ready to make the bread right away.
