chocolate chunk banana bread
makes 14-16 slices
ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups ripe bananas (3-4), mashed
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups chopped semi-sweet or milk chocolate
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Using an electric mixer, cream together sugar and butter on medium speed until well blended, about 1 minute. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add mashed bananas, sour cream and vanilla. Beat on low speed until blended, about 30 seconds. With a wooden spoon, stir in flour, baking soda, salt and chocolate chunks just until moistened and the flour has disappeared. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
- Bake 70 minutes, until lightly browned on top and cooked through. Cool 10 minutes in the pan before removing to cool on a wire rack.
