Easy Chocolatey Banana Bread

Good morning! As I mentioned before,I made banana bread last night.  I had two very ripe bananas so I called my mom and got the recipe.  I made a few minor adjustments like using some whole wheat flour and adding white chocolate chips, but otherwise, it's the same.    

Easy Chocolatey Banana Bread
Ingredients: 
  • 1/2 cup butter, completely softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2-3 ripe bananas
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (*If you don't have any on hand, just use 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips)
  1. Preheat oven to 350. 
  2. Grease a large loaf pan (or 2 mini pans). 
  3. Mash bananas in a bowl and set aside
  4. Mix all other ingredients together, except chocolate chips.  You can use a mixer, but I suggest just using the lowest setting because it's important not to overmix for a good texture. 
  5. Stir in chocolate chips. 
  6. Pour in pan. 
  7. Bake for 50- 60 min. 
The bread turned out great, duh!  I love banana bread and I think the white chocolate chips are perfect in here. 

Right out of the oven. 

Look at that chocolate :)

This morning, I obviously used the banana bread as an oatmeal topper. 


In the bowl: 
  • 1/2 cup oats, vanilla soy milk, water
  • spoonful of ground flax
  • couple drops of vanilla
  • cinnamon
  • squirt of agave
  • 1 slice of crumbled up banana bread
  • walnuts
I also had some chai this morning with vanilla soy milk.  



Well I had some issues sleeping last night so today should be interesting:)  I'm going to my mom's right after work, so it may be a late post tonight.
