Chocolate Banana Bread

Ingredients:

• 2 cups (250 g) of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup (113g) of unsalted butter (This can be salted, just reduce the amount of real salt from the recipe)
• 3/4 cup (150g) of brown sugar
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 3 ripe bananas (The riper the better!). Mash them with a fork
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup of chocolate of your choice
• Optional: 2 teaspoons of chia seeds

Recipe:

1. Pre-heat oven to 180 °C / 350 °F. One tip is to move the oven rack to a lower position so that the top of the banana bread doesn't brown too much!
2. Prepare two bowls, one for dry ingredients and another for wet
3. In the dry bowl, add flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon (optional) and whisk them all together
4. In the wet bowl, add your room temp butter and brown sugar and mix them well together until they become smooth texture. If your butter isn't room temp, all good. Just microwave it for a bit!
5. Add the eggs, mashed bananas and vanilla extra to the bowl with butter and sugar
6. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients little by little. Combine all together until you can't see any dry ingredients
7. Add the chunks of chocolate! I reduce the amount of sugar I add when I want more chocolate hehe
8. Pour the batter into a prepared baking pan (A deep loaf pan is common)
9. Put that into the oven and cook for 45-55 min.
10. Let it rest and voila!
