Provided by cookgem_foodie

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 medium-sized very ripe bananas
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1 large egg (beaten)
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Assemble your ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Lightly grease a 9-inch loaf pan. Line this with parchment paper, pushing the paper into the pan so the grease holds it in place.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Stir in the melted butter. Then, add the beaten egg and stir to combine well. Add the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir to combine into a smooth batter.
  • Fold in the walnuts pieces and chocolate chips if using.
  • Pour the batter into the loaf pan and even it out with an offset or silicone spatula.
  • Place the pan in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 55 minutes.
  • Remove the bread pan to a cool stove burner and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the bread from the pan and place it on a wire rack to continue to cool and set for another 20 minutes. Once cool, slice and serve.

Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
2 eggs, beaten
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Stir the bananas and vinegar together in a bowl, and set aside. Cream the sugar and butter together in a large bowl until creamy and smooth, then beat in the eggs. Stir in the reserved banana mixture. In a separate bowl, stir the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together until the mixture is free of lumps. Mix the flour mixture into the butter-sugar mixture until well blended, and stir in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips. Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool in pan about 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Be sure to use very ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • If you want to add nuts or chocolate chips to your bread, be sure to fold them in gently at the end of mixing.

Conclusion:

Aunt Holly's Banana Bread is a classic recipe that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist, flavorful crumb and sweet banana flavor, it's the perfect breakfast, snack, or dessert. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
