Ingredients for Banana Bread
Bananas – Use ripe bananas that have soft to touch. They should be mashed easily.
Chocolate Chips – You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips. I personally like dark chocolate chips as it balances sweet ripe bananas and sugar.
Brown Sugar – Adds rich deep flavour to the banana bread.
Butter – Use unsalted butter, melted in microwave.
Milk – Full cream milk.
Eggs – use eggs that are at room temperature.
HOW TO MAKE BANANA BREAD
Making this banana bread is as easy as 1 2 3. No mixer needed, just one mixing bowl and a whisk
- Mix Brown sugar with butter, eggs and mashed bananas.
- Fold in flour, baking powder, baking soda and milk. Add Chocolate chips.
- Bake !!
The mixture doesn’t needs to be smooth, its okay to have lumpy batter. Don’t over mix it !
You can some chocolate chips in the batter and sprinkle the remaining on the top. I like more chocolate chips on top rather than inside the banana bread. Feel free to add them on top or in the batter as per your choice.
