CHOCOLATE CHUNK BANANA BREAD



Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread image

Everyone has their favorite banana bread recipe, and this one, from Hot Chocolate chef Mindy Segal, happens to be ours-in large part because it's studded with chocolate chunks!

Provided by Mindy Segal

Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 ounces dark chocolate
2 tablespoons ground flax meal
6 tablespoons water
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups mashed ripe bananas, 4?5 bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup canola oil
3 tablespoons apple cider, or orange juice
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted, to toast, bake 5?7 minutes at 350 F
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula. (Alternatively, use a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water.) Flip a sheet pan upside-down, spray it with nonstick baking spray, and line it with parchment paper. Using an offset spatula, spread the melted chocolate in an even layer over the parchment paper. Place in the freezer to set, 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine water and flax meal. Set aside to thicken, 30 minutes and up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl: both flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Put the bananas and vanilla extract in a plastic deli container, then purée with an immersion blender, 30 seconds. Add the puréed banana to a large mixing bowl along with canola oil, apple cider (or orange juice), the flax mixture, and the sugar. Stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients and stir just to combine, until there's no visible flour. Stir in the chopped pecans.
  • Pull chocolate from the freezer and break it up into shards. Using a rubber spatula, fold the shards into the batter. The folding motion will further break up the chocolate, which is okay.
  • Spray a standard loaf pan with nonstick baking spray. Scrape batter into the pan and smooth out the top. Tap the pan on a hard surface to settle the batter. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top of the batter. Bake 1 hour.
  • Banana bread is done when a cake tester comes out clean. Let cool completely in the pan, then run a knife around the edge, invert onto a plate, slice, and serve.

BETTY'S BANANA CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES



Betty's Banana Chocolate Chunk Cookies image

We have a lovely lady at my workplace that spoils us rotten. She will make cookies in our kitchen and come around with these little treats mid mornings. She makes the cookies with margarine - the recipe calls for butter. The recipe also called for 1/2 cup walnuts in the last step which I have omitted.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 27m

Yield 36 cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup banana, ripe and mashed, about 2
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate (can be chunk or chips)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Whisk together flours, salt and baking soda in a bowl.
  • Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, reduce speed to low.
  • Add egg and vanilla, mix until combined.
  • Add banana.
  • Add flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Stir in oats and chocolate by hand.
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper and using ice cream scoop or spoons drop cookies onto sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  • Bake until golden and just set, for about 12-13 minutes.
  • Cool on sheets for 5 min before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas that are nearly brown for the best flavor and texture.
  • Mash the bananas thoroughly before adding them to the batter. This will help to ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the cookies.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges but still soft in the center. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

These Betty's Banana Chocolate Chunk Cookies are a classic for a reason. They are soft, chewy, and packed with flavor. With a few simple tips, you can easily make these cookies at home and enjoy them with your family and friends.
