This recipe comes from Joyofbaking.com. I baked this for 50 minutes and waited about five minutes more to remove the bread carefully from the pan and let it cool completley on the cooling rack. If I would've followed the original recipe it might not have been so so moist.

Time 1h25m

Yield Makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup (112 g) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup (60 g) pecans
1 1/2 cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups (280 g) smashed, overripe bananas
1 cup (200 g) sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup (120 g) sour cream
3 1/2 ounces (100 g) semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Butter the sides of a 9-by-5-inch (23-by-12.5-centimeter) loaf pan and set it aside.
  • Spread the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Roast them in the oven for 10 minutes, until fragrant and lightly toasted. Allow the pecans to cool, then chop them and set them aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder. cinnamon, nutmeg and salt until well combined.
  • Place the bananas in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix for about a minute to smash the bananas thoroughly, then add the melted butter and mix until incorporated.
  • Add the sugar and mix until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Finally, add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix the batter, which can make the crumb tough and result in large "worm" holes. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the pecans and sour cream until just incorporated.
  • Melt the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water or a double boiler. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly. In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup (235 milliliters) of the batter with the chocolate until well combined.
  • Pour one-third of the banana batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drop two large spoonfuls of the chocolate batter side by side in the center of the batter. Cover this with another third of the banana batter followed by the remaining chocolate batter. Cover this with the last third of the banana batter. Using a knife, swirl the two batters through the loaf pan a few times, without overmixing.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean (okay, there may be a crumb. Or two). Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling, and you're done! Boom. Banana chocolate deliciousness.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Use good quality chocolate chips: The chocolate chips are a key ingredient in this bread, so make sure to use a brand that you like.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread at the right temperature: The bread should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
