Yield: 1 9×5 loaf
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/2 | cup butter |
| 2/3 | cup sugar |
| 3 | eggs |
| 1/4 | cup milk |
| 1 | cup cake flour |
| 1 | tsp baking soda |
| 1/4 | tsp salt |
| 1 2/3 | cups mashed bananas |
| 1 1/4 | cups chocolate chips |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Pan: Start by greasing and flouring a 9×5 loaf pan. Set it aside for later use.
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar on high speed for about 1 minute until light and fluffy.
-
Add Eggs: Stop the mixer and add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture. Continue beating until the mixture becomes fluffy, which should take approximately 1 minute.
-
Incorporate Milk: Pour in the milk and stir until well combined.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Using a wooden spoon, gradually stir the flour mixture and mashed bananas into the creamed butter mixture. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
-
Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
-
Serve: After cooling in the pan, gently remove the loaf from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
