This is best recipe I’ve tried for chocolate chip banana bread. It is totally delicious and has such a great texture!
PREP TIME: 20 Min
COOK TIME: 40 Min
READY IN: 1 Hr
SERVINGS: 18
INGREDIENTS
* 1 1/2 cups (210g) flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 3/4 cup (150g) sugar
* 2 tablespoons (55g) melted butter
* 1 large egg white
* 1 large egg at room temperature
* 1 cup (250ml) banana puree made from 2 very ripe bananas
* 1/2 cup (125ml) sour cream
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/3 cup (60g) chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS
1. Butter a 9-inch (23cm) square pan and line the bottom with a sheet of parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
2. Sift together in a bowl the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix in the sugar.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the butter, egg white, egg, banana puree, sour cream and vanilla.
4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and stir in the wet ingredients with a spatula until almost mixed. Add in the chocolate chips and stir until just combined, but don’t overstir. Stop when any traces of flour disappear.
5. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until the center feels lightly springy and just done.
6. Cool on a baking rack.

I just made it, it turned out really good, the chocolate is quite rich but you can still taste the banana. Really moist and lovely.

amazing! I put in chocolate chunks instead of chips and just a handful of crushed walnuts. sooo good! I think the egg white really helps to make it fluffy and keep it that way. Thanks!

Ran out of white sugar so I added about 1/3 brown sugar. Doubled the vanilla and added toasted walnuts. SOO tasty I’m making a second batch tonight=-)
