This is the banana bread recipe you've been looking for: soft, moist, loaded with bananas, a bit of oatmeal for good health and chocolate for added kid appeal. Ingredients:
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted |
2 large eggs |
1/2 cup quick-cooking oatmeal |
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (3-4 very ripe bananas) |
1/4 cup buttermilk |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Grease and flour a loaf pan.
3. Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl and stir until uniform. Add eggs one at a time, and stir to incorporate. Add oats, banana, buttermilk and vanilla; stir until uniform.
4. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl; stir with a fork to blend. Add flour mixture to banana mixture one third at a time; stir until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
5. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until loaf is dark brown and a cake tester comes out clean.
6. Cool bread in pan for 10 minutes, and then run a knife along edges to loosen, turn out of baking pan and cool on a rack. Makes one loaf.
7. Tip: You can also make this into muffins-bake muffins for 20 minutes. You’ll get about 12 muffins or 20 mini muffins.
8. Tip: If you’re only going to purchase one kind of oatmeal, you should buy the old-fashioned or large-flake oatmeal. To turn them into the “quick-cooking” oatmeal called for in this recipe, pulse them in a food processor, or place in a resealable plastic bag and rub them between your hands until they’re broken into small bits.
