Gooey Banana Bread
Ingredients
3 medium sized, ripe bananas (175g)
200g plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp sea salt
85g butter, room temperature
100g white sugar
50g brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
180 ml almond milk
50g walnuts, chopped
70g chocolate chips
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C and butter a 23x13 cm rectangular baking pan.
Mash the bananas in a small bowl with a potato masher or with a fork. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and sea salt all together with a whisk. Set aside
In a large bowl, mix the butter with a handmixer or a stand mixer on high speed until creamy. Turn the mixing speed to medium and add both sugars, the egg and the vanilla extract. Then add the mashed bananas.
Turn the mixing speed to low and add the bowl of dry ingredients and the almond milk. Don't overmix.
Lastly, fold in the chopped walnuts and the chocolate chips.
Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour depending on your oven. The banana bread is ready when a toothpick comes out (almost) dry.
