This vacation season I am re-sharing one in every of my favourite weblog posts from a couple of years in the past that includes my Grandma Julie’s family-famous (and delectable) Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe!
Many individuals do not know this however I am 1 / 4 Lebanese and that is from my Grandma Julie. We have been finest, finest mates and he or she taught me so many life classes — a kind of was learn how to get pleasure from meals!
I grew up consuming do-it-yourself tabbouleh, kibbeh, grape leaves, and so many extra scrumptious Leb dishes. The recipe I will share with you at this time just isn’t a Lebanese dish however you possibly can head to the KDJ Pinterest web page to see plenty of Mediterranean recipes I’ve pinned which might be good in your weekly menu choices.
This recipe is idiot proof and retains very well when you wrap it up in between snacking on it. I normally make a double batch and substitute in gluten free flour for the common flour – it tastes simply the identical, if not higher!
Professional tip: I extremely encourage you to make this banana bread in small bread pans and freeze them so you possibly can take them out every week and have it recent! Finest loved with a cup of scorching tea and a recreation of backgammon.
GRANDMA JULIE’S BANANA BREAD RECIPE
Preheat oven to 350*
Then mix moist elements in a bowl (you should use a hand mixer on low pace):
1 cup mashed bananas (normally 2-3 ripe massive bananas)
2 eggs (finest if room temp)
1/2 cup mushy butter (do not microwave it, simply depart it out in a single day to melt)
1/2 cup bitter cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
In a separate small bowl, mix dry elements:
1.5 cups Flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Subsequent, add dry elements to moist elements and stir to mix (do not over whip when you use a hand mixer).
Then, add in about 1 cup chocolate chips if desired — I all the time add them. *Tip: when you add in chocolate chips, pour your combine into the bread pan first after which sprinkle the chocolate chips in on high and blend in gently with a fork or spoon. This helps preserve the chocolate chips nearer to the center of the bread as a substitute of sinking to the underside.
Grease bread pan with butter then pour within the banana bread combine.
Bake for 40-45 minutes at 350 levels.
Use a toothpick to be sure that it is cooked sufficient inside, if it comes out clear, it is finished. If the toothpick comes out with items caught to it, depart it in for an additional 5-10 minutes.
After you’re taking out your Banana Bread, let it sit for 10 minutes earlier than you slice it. When you wait, make your self a cup of espresso or tea.
And within the phrases of Grandma Jules, eat & get pleasure from!
