Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
A moist, hearty banana bread loaded with rolled oats and melty chocolate chips. It's the best possible excuse for those bananas going brown on the counter.
Ingredients
- 4large bananas · if using frozen bananas, make sure they're fully defrosted
- 2large eggs
- 1 cupbrown sugar · packed
- 2 tspvanilla extract
- 1/2 cupbutter · melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cupall-purpose flour
- 1 cupold-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cupoat flour · you can make this by blending rolled oats in a food processor or blender
- 1 1/2 tspbaking soda
- 1 1/2 tspbaking powder
- 1/4 tspsalt
- 1 cupchocolate chips
Steps
- 1
Wash your hands before you start.
- 2
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- 3
Prepare a loaf pan by lightly coating it in cooking spray and lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
- 4
Mash the bananas by putting them in a Ziploc bag and squeezing until they're completely mush, then add them to a large mixing bowl. Don't try to mash frozen bananas — the bread will have chunks of unincorporated banana and won't come out right.
- 5
Crack the eggs into the same bowl, then add the brown sugar, vanilla, and melted butter.
- 6
Whisk until combined and set aside.
- 7
Measure out the dry ingredients into a separate mixing bowl and stir well.
- 8
Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir just until incorporated — don't overmix.
- 9
Fold in the chocolate chips.
- 10
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour.
- 11
Test for doneness with a toothpick — it should come out clean when inserted in the center of the bread.
- 12
Let cool for about 30 minutes on a rack before slicing and topping with butter.
Creator's notes
Frozen bananas work great here — just defrost them fully before mashing. Waiting for the loaf to cool will be harder than you think.
