Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
What better way to put your extra ripe bananas to use! A lot of people stress over bananas getting ripe too soon, and don’t know exactly what to make of them!
Well, making this delicious Banana Bread recipe is obviously a perfect way to put them to good use! You could also freeze them for some refreshing smoothies later! The possibilities of use while dealing with ripe bananas are endless!
Oh! And if you are really craving some Banana bread but your bananas haven’t ripened enough, well no worries! Click here for a few tips on quickening that ripening process.
Get Perfect Banana Bread With No Burnt Bottom!
Imagine this: You have just took out of the oven an amazingly smelling Banana Bread pan, and you are just about ready to transfer it into a plate for an Instagram moment, when BAM….the bottom is black and burnt. Yeah…We wouldn’t want that! So here are a few tips on how to avoid burnt bottoms.
This one is pretty basic, but make sure you spray or grease your pan real good before you pour the batter into a pan. I know this step is a given, but a reminder is always a good idea!
Second, after you take it out of the oven, allow the pan to cool completely then loosen the edges with a knife. I know waiting can be soul-torturing but you wouldn’t want all your hard work to go to waste!
And Finally, when flipping the pan, tap it out a bit so it loosen the bread a bit. If that doesn’t work, wrap the bottom of the pan with a damp warm cloth. Nice trick, huh?
Tips for Foolproof Results!
Tip 1: It is okay if your batter is a little thick and lumpy. Don’t be tempted to add any liquid to the batter!
Tip 2: Make sure you stick to the measurement mentioned in the recipe card below. Adding too much flour for example may result in a dry cake.
Tip 3: Don’t overmix your batter! Overmixing your batter mix doesn’t mean a raise because you are dealing with a heavy batter. This will only result in a gummy Banana Bread.
Tip 4: Make sure your coconut oil is softened. If it is in liquid form then use as is.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you are left with a few extra pieces, then place your banana bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or at room temperature for 3 days.
Replace the chocolate chips with your preferred choice of nuts (pecans or walnuts), caramel bites, or even white chocolate chips. Tastes incredible!
If your Banana bread comes out dry, then simply add a thin coat of syrup (half part water and half part sugar). This should moisten your bread to your liking.
