Extremely flavorful, moist and perfectly spiced, this is truly the Best Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe! The addition of gooey chocolate chips makes this classic banana bread even more irresistible!
Servings: 1 9x5 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon cloves
- 4 bananas mashed - about 2 cups
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- optional: walnuts or any mix-in of choice
- 2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5" loaf pan very well and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves very well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk all wet ingredients until smooth. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients and pour in the wet. Mix very well until everything is just combined - you do not want to over-mix the batter or you will have a tough-textured bread. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
- In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over batter just before baking.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. At about 30 minutes you may want to cover the bread loosely with a piece of foil so the top doesn't get too dark.
