I love this recipe because it’s simple, it’s delicious, and it reminds me of my mom. She makes the best banana bread. This is her recipe, but I’m sorry to tell you, there’s no way it’s going to taste the way she bakes it when your done.
I think she adds mom magic to it.
Maybe some of you already have that on hand…
They didn’t give me any when I left the hospital, and I’ve been wondering where I can pick some up? :)
Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread
Recipe Source: Mom
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups AP flour
- 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 slightly beaten egg whites
- 4 medium, overripe bananas
- 3/4 c. sugar
- 1/4 c. vegetable oil
- 1 c. chocolate chunks
**Optional: 1 tsp vanilla, a pinch of nutmeg
Directions:
- Mash bananas (I like to just throw them in my stand mixer and whip them with the paddle attachment– it’s quick!). Add the remaining ingredients except for chocolate chunks.
- Gently stir in the chocolate chunks with a rubber spatula and pour batter into greased standard loaf pan.
- Bake at 350º 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. If the top is getting too brown, simply cover with foil and continue to bake.
