Super soft and extra moist banana bread made using just ONE bowl
Loaded with chocolate chips and crunchy walnuts
This banana bread is all you could ever ask in a banana bread. And the one recipe you'll ever need when you have some leftover spotty brown bananas on the counter.
It's super soft and extra moist.
It's packed with chocolate chips and walnuts, but you can simply omit or replace with your favorite add-ins.
It's simply made in a few minutes using just one bowl and a hand mixer (or fork/whisk also work just fine), so clean up couldn't be any easier.
For this recipe I'm using four large bananas (usually just three are enough) for extra flavor and extra moisture. Make sure the bananas are ripe. You know, the softer they are the sweeter they taste.
You can mash them using a fork, a potato ricer or simply, like you can see in my video below, with the hand mixer.
Cut the banana in large chunks and place in the large bowl. Turn the mixer to low speed and your banana will be mashed in less than a minute. Note, you don't need to perfectly mesh them in a puree. Little piece of banana are just fine and add extra moisture to the bread at the end.
AND, for a richer and extra moist texture, I use Greek yogurt in combination with vegetable oil. You can substitute the yogurt with the same amount of sour cream, and the vegetable oil with 4 ounces of butter (softened at room temperature) if you prefer.
- Use extra ripe bananas, extra sweet and deep in flavor. If your banana are not ripe enough, place them in a brown bag for a day, and they will be ready!
- When the bananas are very ripe, you can simply add to the bowl with other ingredients and mash using your hand mixer.
- After adding the flour to the wet ingredients, don't overmix. And don't over bake ... moist is the key!
- You can finish the banana bread with half banana cut lengthwise. Or like I did this time, a handful of walnuts and chocolate chips and a sprinkle with brown sugar.
