I love the activity of baking. And my kids have a long tradition of dragging a chair across the floor to the kitchen counter – climbing up -and rolling up their sleeves to bake with me. They don’t even ask now. Drraaaggg and voila I see a chair and little helper magically appear the moment the mixer comes out. This is one of our favourites to make together: my Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe…
Yummy right?
TIP: always have a stock of ripe bananas on hand for this chocolate chip banana bread recipe…when your bananas start going black – pop them in the freezer. Simply put out an hour before you want to bake (or defrost them in the microwave for 45 seconds). That way you can make this recipe anytime!
When baking with kids I always advise to take turns measuring, pouring, and stirring to keep it fun (and ensure there are no fights – fighting is not allowed in baking right?!).
- You will need:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 cups of all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp flax seed (make fibre your friend!)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350C
- Spary bundt pay with cooking spray
- In mixer, add bananas and sugar. Mix well.
- Then add in flour, baking powder, baking soda, flax seed. Mix well.
- Add in milk, oil, eggs. Mix well again (no lumps please and thank you).
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Pour into prepared bundt pan
- Bake!
Do you love baking with your kids too? Then you have to try my Easy Applesauce Muffins (great for breakfast and easy to pack in school lunch).
Looks beautiful and sounds so good. This has my mouth watering this morning. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
It was really good!
enjoy!
Looks delicious and it would be perfect to have on hand during the holidays and all year round. I love baking with my grandkids as I loved baking with my grandmother! Banana bread usually freezes well too! Thanks for the recipe!
I’m planning on having it over the holidays too. Great for breakfast!
It does make a great holiday must-have – great for breakfast and easy for dessert.
this looks delicious even though I don’t like banana bread. Still the rest of the family here do so I’ll pass on your recipe to them. I know there are always frozen bananas in my freezer 🙂
Leave out the bananas and make it as a chocolate chip loaf! yum.
I was just looking for a banana bread recipe earlier today! Chocolate banana bread sounds SOOOOO much better. Back to the store to pick up the rest of what I need now 🙂
Chocolate makes everything better 😉
yum! we actually have some bananas that we need to get rid of before they go bad! will be trying this out ! thanks
Me too. Making it tomorrow!
I love the idea of making this in a bundt pan! Adds a nice twist!
It’s also really good if you’ve eaten half the cake and then get surprise guests…you just cut the rest of the bundt and serve it in individual portions on a circle platter. Not that I’ve ever done that of course *I have* 😉
Dont ask me why, but I have never thought to make banana bread in a bundt pan! I like the idea though to make every portion the same.. Great idea as well on adding flax – healthy boost 🙂
When I make it in a loaf pan – it always seems to dense – whereas in the bundt pan – it’s moist and yummy. Could be a user issue.
we actually made this and I want to tell you it was amazing and moist bundt is the way to go for sure
mmmmmmm this wouldn’t last more than a day in my house. i’ll have to make two!
yum!
I made some yesterday…yum indeed!
that looks so amazing!
I always seem to have ripe bananas laying around so this is a delicious recipe to use them up. I would also add 4 tablespoons of flax and it would not affect the rising or taste.
love this recipe thanks for the post
Looks very good. Love banana bread! I have never thought about baking it in a round bundt pan, will have to give that a try. Thanks for the recipe.
