Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
I don't realy care for walnuts and most places seem to serve banana bread with walnuts. Don't let that stop you from adding walnuts to this version.

(sorry, no image at this time)
125 mL 1/2 cup butter
375 mL 1 1/2 cups sugar
2 2 eggs
15 mL 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 4 large over-ripe bananas, mushed
75 mL 1/3 cup sour cream
75 mL 1/3 cup buttermilk
625 mL 2 1/2 cups cake flour, unsifted
5 mL 1 teaspoon salt
3 mL 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 mL 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3 mL 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 mL 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
375 mL 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 175ºC (350ºF)
  • Spray a 10" tube pan with cooking spray
  • Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy
  • Beat eggs into the mixture. Next, mix in the vanilla, then mushy bananas, sour cream, and buttermilk.
  • In a seperate bowl, combine dry ingridients excluding the chocolate chunks. When the batter is smooth, fold in the chocolate chunks.
  • Pour into the pan and bake for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown and the top springs back when touched.
  • Let cool for at least 15 minutes before removing from the pan. Cool completely before slicing.

Serving Notes:

  • Before placing in the oven to bake, place a row of sliced bananas on top of the batter.

Substitution Notes:

  • Substitute 1/2 cup of chocolate chips with chopped walnuts. Or make plain banana bread by voiding the chocolate chunks.
