  • 1 ⅔ cups (8oz/225g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (4oz/115g) sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 ½ cups (12oz/360g) bananas (around 3 medium bananas), mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup (2½floz/71ml) flavorless oil (Sunflower, vegetable, canola)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (6oz/170g) chocolate chips plus a handful more for decorating the top

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter a 9x5 (23x12.5cm) inch loaf pan and line with parchment.
  • In a large bowl stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the mashed bananas, egg, oil, and vanilla extract.
  • Combine the dry ingredients with the mashed banana mixture until just combined. Do not over mix.
  • Fold in the cup of chocolate chips and spoon into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with a handful of chocolate chips.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes until the loaf is golden brown and springs back when pressed gently with your finger. Leave in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
  • Enjoy warm! Store leftovers at room temperature for 3 days or freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Defrost at room temperature in the container for a few hours.
