Best 2 Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipes

ESPRESSO-CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD WITH ESPRESSO-CINNAMON BUTTER

Steps:

• Make the banana bread: Adjust an oven rack to the lowest position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan with the softened butter. Place the 5 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat and cook until the butter turns a deep golden brown color, about 2 minutes; stir in the espresso powder. Remove and let cool slightly.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda and kosher salt together in a medium bowl.
• Using a potato masher, mash the bananas in a medium bowl until pretty smooth. Add the sugars, cooled brown butter and egg and whisk until combined. Add the flour mixture and whisk until just combined, don't over-mix. Fold in the chopped chocolate.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake on the lowest oven rack until a toothpick inserted into the center of the banana bread comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 40 to 50 minutes. Let the banana bread cool on a baking rack in the pan for 15 minutes. Use a knife to separate the edges of the banana bread from the pan, then invert it and cool the loaf directly on the rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
• Make the espresso-cinnamon butter: Stir the butter, sugar, espresso, cinnamon and salt together in a small bowl until smooth. Serve with the banana bread.

CINNAMON CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Peel the bananas, cutting out any of the bruised or brown spots on the banana themselves. Place them in a large bowl. Take a potato masher and mash the bananas until very well mushed. Take both sugars and add to the bowl. Stir the mixture to coat the mushed bananas really well with the sugar. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F Add the applesauce and eggs to the banana sugar mixture and beat well. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. I use an 8x8 glass dish for this recipe your welcome to use the traditional 9x5 loaf pan. Grease the pan or dish you decide to use with Olive Oil spray.
• Pour in the mixture and bake for about 35-40 mins and check with a toothpick to see if it is ready. If it is not due to different ovens, place back in the oven for 5 minute increments until done. Cool it for about 15 minutes and its ready to enjoy!
