Cinnamon Banana Bread

Ingredients

  • 3 large, ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstock cooking spray.

Step 3: In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.  Add the melted butter and stir to combine.

Step 4: Add the brown sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt and whisk until well combined.

Step 5: Add 1 cup of the flour, stirring gently until the flour just disappears.

Step 6: Pour half of the batter into a second bowl.

Step 7: In one bowl of batter, add the remaining 1/4 cup flour and cinnamon.  Stir to combine.  In the other bowl of batter, add the cocoa powder and chocolate chips.  Stir to combine.

Step 8: Alternating between the two bowls, add spoonfuls of the batters into the 9×5-inch pan.

Step 9: Using a butter knife, make a few figure-eights through the combined batters to marble them.

Step 10: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.  Allow the pan to cool for 10 minutes.  After cooling, run a knife around the edges of the pan and invert the loaf onto a cooling rack.  Allow to cool completely before serving.
