Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 2. In a big bowl, combine all dry ingredients and sift well with a fork or a whisk. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas, leaving some small chunky bits. Add the oil and lemon juice to the bananas, and combine well. 3. Add the wet ingredients and the chocolate chips to the big bowl with the dry ingredients, and combine well until just mixed. (Don't overmix-when in doubt, just stop, since it's better that two chocolate chips are touching than that your loaf is tough). 4. Pour the batter into a loaf pan or 2 mini loaf pans. Bake for 45-50 minutes (big loaf) or 25 minutes (small loaf). Since heat varies by the oven, you should check the loaves using the toothpick method. When it's golden on top and toothpick comes out clean, it's done. Enjoy!
CHUNKY MONKEY ICE CREAM BANANA BREAD
Yield 1 big loaf
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C) Grease and flour bread pan, or line with parchment paper. Mix melted ice cream and flour until well combined. Add optional mix-ins. Pour into prepared bread pan. Bake for 1-1.5 hrs. This seems like a lot, but we've essentially made a double loaf in a single pan. If the top starts to brown too much, cover it with aluminum foil and continue to bake. Bread is done when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. You can also use overripe bananas, just be sure to mash them well before adding them to the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana bread tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the banana bread at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking banana bread is 350°F (175°C). Baking at a higher temperature will cause the bread to brown too quickly and possibly burn, while baking at a lower temperature will make the bread dense and gummy.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
- Store the banana bread properly: Once the banana bread has cooled completely, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also store the banana bread in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Chunky monkey banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With its moist and fluffy texture, sweet banana flavor, and chocolate chips, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
