Banana is healthy because it has fruit in it…right? Well, I just love making this and having a slice for breakfast in the morning and then sneaking some later after dinner!
My mom used to make the most amazing banana bread growing up so I’ve been thoroughly spoiled by hers…so this recipe is based on my childhood banana bread which stands up to any other banana bread I’ve ever tried! Trust me…this one is a goodie
Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg use freshly grated for more flavor!
- 2 cups mashed ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts I do a rough chop so there's some larger chunks!
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips I prefer semi-sweet
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Using an electric mixer on medium-high, mix brown sugar and butter in a mixing bowl for about 4 minutes. Add in eggs one at a time until combined. Then add bananas and mix until just combined. Mix in dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt).
-
Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix in cream and vanilla extract. Lastly, gently fold in the walnuts and chocolate chips.
-
Spray a loaf pan (about 9x5 inches) with cooking oil and pour batter into the pan. Bake until cooked all the way through--you can use a knife or wooden stick (chopstick or toothpick) to stick in the middle and if comes out clean, it's done--about 50-60 minutes.
EN -JOY!
