Dark Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

When I was a kid, it used to delight me to watch the bananas ripen on the counter. Even though I wouldn’t touch them on their own (it’s a texture thing), I sure hoped my mom would make them into banana bread for us to snack on. She used to send me or one of my siblings over to our elderly neighbors’ house with an extra loaf.

Nowadays, I still do the same thing. I’ll eat a few bananas off the bunch, then I’ll wait until they’re covered in brown spots and make my own version. I like to throw in a handful of dark chocolate chips. There’s definitely nothing like a slice of warm Dark Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, and it’s even better to share it with friends. Bake three loaves — one for yourself and two more for a friend or neighbor.

Sharing is caring right? Good, because I’m sharing the recipe for Dark Chocolate Chip Banana Bread over at My Cooking Spot today. It’s an awesome site that features great recipes and kitchen tips from lots of food bloggers. I’ll be contributing recipes there more frequently, so be sure to keep an eye on their Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram accounts.

ingredients

• 3 very ripe medium bananas, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 12 tablespoons butter 1 1/2 sticks, melted
• 2 ¼ cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup white sugar
• ½ c dark brown sugar
• 3 eggs beaten
• ¾ cup milk
• 4 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips

instructions

• Preheat oven to 350. Grease three medium (7 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 3″) loaf pans and line with parchment paper.
• Stir together flour, baking soda and salt and set aside
• In a mixer or with a fork, mash bananas well, until applesauce-like in consistency, about 20 seconds. Add in the melted butter and stir until combined.
• Mix in the sugars and beaten egg, followed by the milk and lemon juice. Mix in the flour until just combined. Do not overprocess to avoid coarse bread. Gently stir in chocolate chips.
• Pour batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake 55 to 60 minutes. (Bread will be evenly browned and will spring back when touched lightly in the center.) Cool before removing from pan.
