Banana Bread

5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star No reviews

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 bananas
  • 2 c. flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 c. shortening or butter
  • 1 small bag of chocolate chunks

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×5 loaf pan and fold in piece of parchment paper. I don’t measure the parchment paper but it’s around 9×18. This doesn’t have to be exact as long as the parchment paper is poking out the top of the pan enough so you can grip it to pull out the loaf when it’s done baking.

Mix all the ingredients, except chocolate chips, in a mixer on low speed until combined.

Turn up the speed to medium high speed for 1-2 minutes. You’ll see the batter become much lighter. 

Turn off the mixer and add chocolate chips. You can mix this on low or by hand.

Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 90-120 minutes*.

Remove from pan immediately and cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. The longer it cools, the easier it will be to slice. 


Notes

*When is it done baking? I wait until the top of the loaf has cracked quite a but. I also feel the top of the loaf to see how done it is. It should spring back and feel slightly firm.
