Chocolate Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 3/4 C all-purpose flour
• 3/4 C cake flour
• 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 C avocado oil (or neutral vegetable oil)
• 1/4 C sour cream (or yogurt)
• 5 Tbsp granulated sugar (depends on how sweet your bananas are)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 C semi-sweet chocolate chunks

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C.

2. 2

   Line an 8" by 4" loaf pan with parchment paper.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, use a fork to mash the banana.

4. 4

   Add in the eggs, avocado oil and vanilla extract and give it a whisk.

5. 5

   Stir in the yogurt/sour cream, sugar, and sift in the cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder.

6. 6

   Add in the all-purpose and cake flour and use a spatula to fold until just incorporated.

7. 7

   Lastly, fold in the chocolate chunks.

8. 8

   Transfer the mixture to a prepared loaf pan. Give the pan a few taps to release any trapped air bubbles.

9. 9

   Bake for 60-65 minutes at 350°F/177°C, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with slight crumbs clinging to it.

10. 10

    If the top appears to brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil. Note 1: Depending on your oven, it may require more or less baking time. Note 2: If you stick the toothpick into chocolate or a chunk of banana, it could "appear" wet.

11. 11

    Remove from the baking pan and let completely cool on a wire rack.

12. 12

    Slice and serve.
