Pecan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipes

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.

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:

• 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:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• In small bowl, mix oat flour, baking cocoa, xanthan gum, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
• In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed 3 to 5 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until smooth. Beat in bananas, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir in oat flour mixture and chocolate chips. Pour into pan.
• Bake 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (take care not to insert toothpick in chocolate chip). Cool 5 minutes in pan. Loosen sides of loaf from pan; remove from pan, and place top side up on cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing. Wrap tightly, and store at room temperature up to 4 days.
