Time 4h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 cups)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray; dust with flour and tap out the excess.
  • Combine the 2 cups flour, 1/4 cup espresso powder, the baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the granulated sugar, oil, bananas, eggs and vanilla in another large bowl until smooth. Fold in the flour mixture, a third at a time, until just combined after each addition. Fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake until the bread starts to puff and is just set at the edges, about 40 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F, then continue to bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes more. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely, about 3 hours. Flip the bread out of the pan and place onto a serving platter.
  • Just before serving, mix the confectioners' sugar with the remaining 2 tablespoons espresso powder and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until smooth. Spread the glaze on top of the banana bread and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips.

This bread is a little too dense for my taste, but it's still good.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts in this recipe with chocolate chips. It turned out great!

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The bread was dry and crumbly.
