Dark Chocolate Pecan Banana Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-by-5-inch metal loaf pan.
• Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
• Lightly beat the egg in a medium bowl with a fork or a whisk. Add the banana and mix to combine. Stir in the sour cream, vanilla and melted butter. Stir the sour cream-banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans until just combined but with a few lumps still in the batter. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth out into an even layer.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, 1 hour, 5 minutes to 1 hour, 10 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for 20 minutes. Run a thin knife along the sides of the pan to loosen the bread and unmold it. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• In a medium bowl, mash bananas.
• Mix eggs, yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and baking soda into mixture.
• Add flour, dark cocoa powder and mix.
• Add chocolate chips and gently fold into mixture.
• Pour the batter into a greased 9x5-inch (23x12 cm) bread pan.
• Bake for about 45 mins, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the middle of the bread. (Baking times may vary, so keep an eye on the bread.)
• Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F; butter and flour 9x5x2 1/2 inch loaf pan.
• Whisk first four ingredients in bowl to blend, add chocolate chips and pecans.
• Beat butter until fluffy.
• Gradually add sugar, beating well until blended.
• Beat in eggs one at a time.
• Beat in mashed bananas, lemon juice and vanilla.
• Beat in flour mixture.
• Pour into loaf pan, cook 1 hour and 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Banana Bread:.
• Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F Grease an 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan.
• In a medium bowl, blend together the first four ingredients.
• In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla, and honey on high. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes or until light yellow.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in thirds. Blend until the texture becomes grainy.
• Slowly add in the eggs and beat to combine.
• Fold in the bananas, pecans, and chocolate and mix with a spoon.
• Once thoroughly combined, pour into the loaf pan. Spread the batter evenly.
• Streusel:.
• In a small bowl, add all ingredients except for the dried banana chips. Blend with the back of a fork until coarse crumbs form.
• Sprinkle the streusel topping on top of the banana bread, then sprinkle the streusel with the banana chips.
• Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before removing from the pan to further cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture. With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together for a good 3 minutes; you want a light and fluffy banana cream. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla; beat well and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated; no need to overly blend. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Give the pan a good rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
• Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Don't get nervous if the banana bread develops a crack down the center of the loaf; that's no mistake, it's typical. Rotate the pan periodically to ensure even browning.
• Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes or so, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Toast the slices of banana bread, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Spread the pecans onto a baking sheet, and toast until the nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 45 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake, they burn quickly. Once toasted, set the nuts aside to cool to room temperature.
• Raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 2 mini loaf pans with cooking spray.
• Combine the toasted pecans, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a large bowl, mix the bananas, sugar, eggs, vanilla and coconut extracts, lemon juice, and butter together with a fork or an electric mixer on low speed. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture, and pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling them about 3/4 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a loaf comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 5 minutes before turning out onto a rack to finish cooling. Wrap cooled loaves in plastic wrap.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan, preferably glass.
• Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir bananas, milk, and cinnamon in another bowl. Beat butter and sugar in a third bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs to butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir banana mixture into butter mixture. Stir in dry mixture until blended. Fold in chocolate chips until just combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 70 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
