Ingredients for Banana Bread
- 2 bananas (200 g)
- 200 g flour
- 100 g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 80 g sugar
- 2 eggs
- 50 g brown sugar
- 50 ml heavy cream
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 40 g dark chocolate (chocolate chips)
- 25 g walnuts
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
Instructions
To prepare banana bread, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon in a bowl and then set them aside. Then with a knife, chop the walnuts and chocolate.
Next, in a bowl mash the bananas with a fork. After that, add the brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, and lemon zest to the mashed bananas and mix well.
Now in a large bowl, with an electric hand mixer, beat the eggs with sugar until they are paler in color, about 5 minutes. Then add the mashed bananas mixture to the eggs and mix them with a silicone spatula. Next, add the sifted dry ingredients and also the chocolate into the wet ingredients and mix them just until all flour pockets are dissolved. But do not overmix the batter.
It is time to grease a 30×10 cm loaf pan mold. Then spoon the batter into the mold and add the chopped walnuts on top. Now bake the banana bread in the preheated oven to 180 ºC for 40 minutes until when inserting a toothpick, it comes out clean.
