Choco Chunky Banana Bread Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHUNK BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan with nonstick baking spray.
• In a mixing bowl, mash 3 bananas with a fork. Stir in the brown sugar, then add butter, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream. Mix again to make sure everything is well combined.
• Add the all purpose flour, wheat flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cinnamon to the mixing bowl. Lightly stir the dry ingredients without disturbing the banana mixture below. Then stir again, mixing the dry ingredients with the wet until everything is well combined.
• Stir the chocolate chunks into the batter, but reserve a few to press into the top of the loaf, if desired.
• Spread the banana bread batter into the prepared 9x5 loaf pan. Top with more chocolate chunks, if desired.
• Bake at 350 for one hour to 1 hour 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. If the top of the loaf becomes too brown before the baking time is over, loosely tent the banana bread with aluminum foil.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula. (Alternatively, use a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water.) Flip a sheet pan upside-down, spray it with nonstick baking spray, and line it with parchment paper. Using an offset spatula, spread the melted chocolate in an even layer over the parchment paper. Place in the freezer to set, 30 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine water and flax meal. Set aside to thicken, 30 minutes and up to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl: both flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Put the bananas and vanilla extract in a plastic deli container, then purée with an immersion blender, 30 seconds. Add the puréed banana to a large mixing bowl along with canola oil, apple cider (or orange juice), the flax mixture, and the sugar. Stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients and stir just to combine, until there's no visible flour. Stir in the chopped pecans.
• Pull chocolate from the freezer and break it up into shards. Using a rubber spatula, fold the shards into the batter. The folding motion will further break up the chocolate, which is okay.
• Spray a standard loaf pan with nonstick baking spray. Scrape batter into the pan and smooth out the top. Tap the pan on a hard surface to settle the batter. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top of the batter. Bake 1 hour.
• Banana bread is done when a cake tester comes out clean. Let cool completely in the pan, then run a knife around the edge, invert onto a plate, slice, and serve.

CHOCO-CHUNKY BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan.
• Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan (without touching the water). Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Keep warm.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and cloves in a medium bowl. Stir the vanilla and half the bananas into the buttermilk.
• Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. While mixing, drizzle in the oil and beat until incorporated. Beat in the egg.
• While mixing slowly add the flour mixture to the butter in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk mixture in 2 parts, beginning and ending with the flour. (Scrape the sides of the bowl between additions, if needed). Fold in the remaining bananas. Gently swirl the melted chocolate into the batter so that it has a marbled effect. Scoop the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack before unmolding and slicing.
