I have already published a banana bread recipe on my blog, posted a little over a year ago! That recipe is vegan; it features only oil instead of eggs. I modified that recipe following some research about acids, baking soda and baking powder to make a recipe with eggs. Same old classic, just different ingredients and one more year’s worth of baking experience!

To be finished in a day...

Banana bread:

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon powder
• A pinch of salt
• 3 over-ripe bananas
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup neutral oil
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips + extra

Preheat your oven to 180C/ 350F. Grease a loaf pan with some oil and line it with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add the sugar, oil, vanilla and egg, mixing until combined. Sift and fold in the dry ingredients using a spatula. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle a few more chocolate chips on top and tap the pan to release air bubbles. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool the bread completely before removing from the pan.
