CHOCOLATE-CHIP BANANA BREAD



Chocolate-Chip Banana Bread image

This recipe uses four bananas, which is more than is typical for a single loaf. The natural sugars from the ripe, brown bananas keep the bread incredibly moist for up to one week, even sliced. The high moisture of the batter can make it tricky to determine doneness, so take care not to underbake the the loaf. It should have a dry, shiny, cracked surface, and a tester inserted into the thickest portion should come out with a few moist crumbs attached. Serve this banana bread for breakfast or brunch, or even as a simple dessert, topped with a scoop of coffee ice cream.

Provided by Erin Jeanne McDowell

Categories     breakfast, brunch, snack, cakes, dessert

Time 2h

Yield One 9-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick spray, as needed
4 very ripe medium bananas, peeled
6 tablespoons/85 grams unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup/80 milliliters plain Greek yogurt
1 cup/220 grams light or dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup/135 grams finely chopped chocolate or mini chocolate chips (see Tip)
3/4 cup/130 grams coarsely chopped toasted nuts, such as almonds, walnuts or pecans (optional)
Coarse sanding or turbinado sugar, as needed for finishing (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, mash the bananas coarsely using a fork. They should be fully broken apart, but it's OK if some larger lumpy pieces remain. Whisk in the melted butter, yogurt, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla until well combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt to combine. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir to combine using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon. Scrape the sides and base of the bowl well to make sure the mixture is uniformly combined.
  • Gently stir in the chocolate until combined, then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer. If using, sprinkle the surface generously with coarse sugar.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the edges of the loaf start to pull away from the edge of the pan, and a tester inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 60 to 75 minutes. If the top of the loaf is becoming too dark before it's baked through, loosely cover with foil.
  • Transfer from the oven to a cooling rack and run a thin knife around the edge of the banana bread to separate it from the pan. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before unmolding and cooling completely.

Espresso-Chocolate Chip Banana Bread with Espresso-Cinnamon Butter image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 1h50m

Yield One 9-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra at room temperature for greasing the pan
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 medium-ripe bananas (the peel should be pretty black), peeled and halved
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lightly-packed light brown sugar
1 large egg, beaten
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Pinch of fine salt

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.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature: Banana chocolate bread will keep for up to 3 days.
  • You can use different types of chocolate chips: Semi-sweet, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate chips would all be delicious in this bread.
  • Add nuts or dried fruit: For a little extra crunch, add some chopped walnuts, pecans, or raisins.
  • Make it a loaf or muffins: This recipe can be made into a loaf or muffins. If you make muffins, bake them for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
