Baking

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cups butter, softened (~5.3oz)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 (medium) ripe bananas, peeled
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cups mini chocolate chips or chopped & toasted walnuts
  • Raw sugar or powdered sugar to top

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. Using a stand or hand mixer, cream together butter and sugar on high until light and fluffy. About ~2-3 mins.
  2. Mash up the bananas using a fork in a small bowl and then add the bananas to the mixer and mix on medium speed until incorporated.
  3. Add in the egg & buttermilk and mix until combined.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix or your bread will be too dense.
  5. Mix in the chocolate chips, walnuts, or whatever other mix-ins you prefer.
  6. Pour the batter into a heavily greased or parchment-lined 9x5 bread pan.
  7. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 50-60 minutes.
