how to make Super Moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Ingredients :

• 1 & 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, spoon and leveled
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick / 115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 1/4 cup (60mL) vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 & 1/2 cups (360g) mashed ripe bananas (about 3-4 medium sized bananas)
• 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions :

1. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Mix in the mashed bananas.
3. Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Make sure not to overmix!
4. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake in the center of your preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (some melted chocolate on the skewer is fine, too!). If the top of the loaf is browning too fast, loosely tent it with aluminum foil and continue baking until cooked through.
5. Cool the bread in your loaf pan until slightly warm or room temperature before slicing and serving!

tips to make Super Moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

• Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture. Brown spots on the skin are a good sign.

• Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, like dark chocolate or even white chocolate for varied flavors.
• If you want extra texture, you can add nuts like walnuts or pecans.

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen bananas?
Yes! Frozen bananas work great. Just thaw them and mash them before adding to the batter.

2. How can I tell when the banana bread is done?
Insert a skewer into the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, it’s done. If it has wet batter, bake it a little longer.

3. Can I make mini loaves?
Absolutely! If you’re making mini loaves, reduce the baking time to about 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness with a skewer.
