by Sydni Williams

A family recipe and family favorite, my grandma’s chocolate chip banana bread will always be one of my favorite treats to make and eat.

Makes: 1 Loaf Estimated Cook Time: 1 hour and 30 minutes

Ingredients

Nonstick spray

113 grams unsalted butter

240 grams all-purpose flour

11 grams baking soda

1.5 grams salt

2 grams ground cinnamon

1 grams ground nutmeg

161 grams packed brown sugar

112 grams whole eggs, beaten together

75 grams sour cream

600 grams bananas, peeled and mashed

5 grams vanilla bean paste

175 grams chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.

2. Melt the butter in a frying pan on medium-low heat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until the butter becomes brown in color and smells nutty. Remove it from the heat.

3. In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

4. In another bowl, add sugar and the browned butter and whisk to blend. Then add your beaten eggs, sour cream, bananas, and vanilla into the butter/sugar mixture with whisk until combined.

5. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Then add in chocolate chips and mix.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out completely clean. Let the banana bread fully cool on a wire rack before slicing.

7. Lastly… ENJOY!!!
