Sunday Heirlooms | Buttery Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 55 mins | Total Time: 1 hour 5 mins

Ingredients

  • 3-4 extra ripe bananas (medium sized) mashed
  • 1/3 cup salted butter (melted)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350℉. Lightly grease and flour an 8.5×4.5-inch loaf pan with unsalted butter, or spray with baking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas and the melted butter, then add the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Stir well with a large wooden spoon.
  3. Add the baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt over the banana mixture and stir to combine.
  4. Add flour and chocolate chips, and stir just until no streaks of flour remain (do not over mix). Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Slice into 10 thick slices and serve.
