It’s National Banana Day, so of course, I had to make banana bread.  Yum!!

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour (280 grams)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted (113 grams)
1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams) You can use brown sugar if you would like:)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup sour cream (57 grams)
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (84 grams) Plus extra to sprinkle on top…this is optional

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°.  Prepare 9×15 loaf pan with parchment paper and cooking spray.

Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a medium size bowl and set aside.

Place melted butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream and vanilla in mixing bowl.  Place on stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.  Mix just until ingredients are combined.

Add flour mixture and mix until combined (do not overmix).  Stir in bananas and chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.

Pour batter into loaf pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top (optional) and bake for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes.  Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.

Enjoy!  I hope you make this banana bread, and if you do, please tag me on Instagram @goodeatsbymimi.  I would love to see your pictures:).
