Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

I want to curl all up with some hot chocolate in my hand and this nana bread next to me. This is what November means...


Look at the chocolate chips! Look at the gooey chocolate chips! Look at the moistness! Look! That thing on top of my `nana bread is yogurt with some spices and honey. I just put honey because I have a sore throat and that helps. 


The only thing you should do is make sure it gets baked properly and not cut into it right away. 

Not that I did such a horrendous thing. No, I didn`t do that.

Here`s the recipe...

Ingredients:
2 medium, ripe bananas
2 eggs
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil 
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup whole milk
30 gr butter
1 Tablespoon baking powder
a pinch of salt
3 cups white, all purpose flour
150 gr of your favorite chocolate chips

Directions:
1. Preheat oven at 180 C/ 375 F. Butter your pan and dust it with flour. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, break the bananas into pieces, then mash it with a fork. Add the eggs, sugar and oil and mix on high speed until it becomes pale and you`ll notice a slight increase in volume. Add the vanilla extract.

3. Meanwhile, heat the milk and the butter on medium flame just until the butter almost melted completely. Watch it closely as you do this and swirl the saucepan every 30 seconds. After you took it off the heat, immediately add the baking powder and stir to combine. You`ll see it will get foamy. Add the salt and let it cool 5 minutes.

4. With the mixer running, add the milk-butter mixture to the big bowl at nr.2. Mix it well.

5. Add the flour in two batches, making sure to fully incorporate it but do not overmix. Lastly, add the chopped chocolate/chocolate chips and stir them in the batter.

6. Pour the batter in the pan and bake it for about 55-65 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean (there might be some spots of melted chocolate, but that`s fine) without wet batter on it. Let it cool completely in the pan and then cut into it. Served it with some yogurt and spices, drizzled with honey. Enjoy!
