Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2/3 cup bananas (mashed (2 medium bananas))
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk
• 10 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 325°F convection (with fan) or 350°F standard (no fan). Spray a 1-lb loaf pan with cooking spray or spread butter over the entire surface. Coat the inside of the pan with sugar by pouring a bit in the bottom and then tilting the pan so that it evenly coats all the sides.

2. 2

   In a bowl combine bananas, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and buttermilk. Immersion blend or whisk until smooth.

3. 3

   Quickly immersion blend or whisk in flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and butter into the banana mixture until there are only a few remaining lumps. Be careful not to over mix the batter.

4. 4

   Fold in the chocolate chips and pour into the prepared pan.

5. 5

   Bake 50-60 minutes in a preheated oven or until a cake tester or toothpick comes out with clinging crumbs.

6. 6

   Cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Turn out to finish cooling completely on a wire rack.
