Choc-Chip & Toasted Almond Banana Bread
A sweet and crunchy twist on the standard banana bread recipe that you can prep in one bowl in less than 15 minutes
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 55 minutes mins
Oven (Preheat to 175°C)
Loaf pan
Baking paper
Bowl
Spatula/spoon
Measuring equipment
- 75 grams butter
- 2-3 (over) ripe bananas You want them easy to squish!
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 pinch salt
- 1.5 cups self-raising flour If you don't have self-raising flour, use the same amount of all-purpose flour and add 1/2 tsp of baking powder
- Choc-chips measure these with your heart! lol (Or if you need measurements, 1/4 - 1/3 cup)
- 1/4 cup almonds, roughly chopped
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line your loaf pan with baking paper
In a large mixing bowl, melt your butter (I use 50% power for our microwave and do short 30-45 second bursts to avoid the butter explosion)
Mash the bananas into the same bowl with the melted butter, stir to combine
Add your egg and whisk, then stir in the sugar, vanilla extract and your pinch of salt
Mix in the flour and choc-chips
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan
Scatter the crushed almonds on top of the loaf (gently press it into the top of the mix so they stay in place when you take the loaf out)
Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
