3 medium-sized very ripe bananas

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda

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.

  • Fold in the walnuts pieces and chocolate chips if using.

  • 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.

AUNT CARRIE'S BANANA BREAD

This not "just another" banana bread. I've made it time and time again throughout the years. It's from an old and yellowed recipe clipping (50 plus years old) from my local newspaper that my great aunt had written her own success notes beside. My aunt was a caterer, and she writes that this banana bread was her most requested treat for her teas and luncheons.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week: You can also freeze the banana bread for up to 3 months.
  • To add variety to your banana bread, try adding different ingredients such as nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit.
