Banana Choco Chip Bread

For the best banana loaf use ripe/overripe bananas; they are the key to a sweet, moist and flavourful bread! Enjoy banana flavoured loaf with cream or have it lightly toasted with a dab of butter.

Banana Bread Recipe:

This easy banana flavoured bread recipe has the perfect texture and flavour. It’s so good and super easy to make. The warm aroma wafting from the banana loaf bread baking in the oven is just heavenly.

If you use over-ripe bananas, your banana loaf bread turns out moist and super sweet! You can add nuts too for an extra crunch!

How to make moist banana chip loaf:

  • To make banana-flavoured bread,  firstly, preheat the oven to 175C (350F).  Then, grease a 8 ½ inch x 4 ½ inch loaf pan and lightly dust with flour.
  • Next, sift together flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl. Set aside.

  • Then, peel the bananas, place them in a bowl and mash them using a fork.

  • Next, lightly beat 2 eggs.

  • Add beaten eggs to the mashed bananas along with melted butter, brown sugar and vanilla essence.

  • Now, blend well with a spatula.

  • Next, add the flour mixture a little at a time and stir gently till all the ingredients are well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary.

  • Don’t over-mix. You just need to ensure the wet and dry ingredients blend to a smooth batter.

  • Now, stir in chocolate chips.

  • Finally, pour the banana loaf batter into the buttered baking pan.

  • Gently shake the tin so that the mixture gets evenly distributed. Then, smooth the top of the bread batter with a spatula.
  • Now, bake at 175°C for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. (The baking time varies depending on the moisture of the bananas).
  • Check the bread after half-an-hour. If the top starts to brown, cover with an aluminium foil and bake till done. While the bread takes about an hour to bake, you can check for doneness 10 minutes earlier.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Loosen the loaf by running a butter knife along the edges, tap to release and turn out onto a plate. Allow to cool down completely before slicing.

  • Serve warm, freshly-baked slices of Banana Nut Bread with cream.
