HEAVENLY BANANA BREAD PECAN CHOCOLATE CHIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 ° F
• In a large bowl with a hand held mixer or stand mixer cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add 1 egg at at time and incorporate each egg
• Add whipping cream and vanilla and incorporate
• Fold in mashed bananas into wet ingredients until well incorporated.
• In another bowl add flour, baking powder, baking soda, & cinnamon and whisk together.
• Add the reserved tablespoon of flour to your chocolate chips and stir with a spoon to evenly coat. This helps the chips to not sink to the bottom of your bread when you fold them into the batter.
• Coarsely chop your pecans or nuts of choice.
• Add half of your dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold in gently with a spatula until incorporated. Don't over mix as this will toughen the gluten and may give you a tough dry bread.
• Add the remaining dry ingredients and repeat incorporating process.
• Gently fold in your chocolate chips and pecans until well incorporated
• In a buttered and lightly floured loaf pan pour in the batter and smooth out the top evenly with a spatula.
• Place on middle rack in oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Some moist crumbs are ok as it will continue to bake as it cools. You just don't want wet batter sticking to the toothpick.
• If top gets too brown before your bread is done, you can place a dome of tin foil over the top of your bread as it finishes baking.
• When done remove from oven and place on cooling rack and let cool until you can release from the loaf pan. About half an hour.
• Let completely cool before slicing into the loaf.
• Will keep in fridge up to a week or you can freeze for up to a few months.
