Calories: 307kcal

Ingredients

  • 4 medium-large overripe bananas mashed or pureed to make 1 ½ cups (360 ml or 340 g) mashed banana
  • 1 cup (140 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (140 g) whole-grain wheat or spelt flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons buttermilk, milk, plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (100 g) mini-chocolate chips
  • Optional: ½ cup (55 g) chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Butter one large (9x5 and 3 inches high or 30x13 and 9 cm high) loaf pan. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk or sift together the flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat oil and sugar. Beat in the eggs. Beat in the banana. Add the flour mixture, buttermilk and vanilla and mix just until combined. Stir in ¾ of the chocolate chips, and nuts if desired.
  • Spread batter in prepared pan and sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips. Bake for about 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely. Tip: to avoid smearing the chocolate chips on the top, lay the pan on its side and use a spatula pull the banana bread out of the pan. Place Banana Bread right side up on cooling rack.
  • Store tightly wrapped or in an airtight container for up to three days. Banana Bread can also be frozen for up to two months. Freezing in individually-wrapped slices is very practical.
