I first tried this recipe few years back and it was disaster. I was not good in the baking. Most of the time my bakes directly goes to the bin. The most pitiful things that have happened to me.

INGREDIENTS IN BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP BREAD

Whole Wheat Flour- I use whole wheat flour in this recipe. Feel free to replace with regular all purpose flour.

Oats- Use instant oats, do not grind the oats.

Banana- The main ingredient of this recipe. Be sure to use overripe bananas.

Sugar- Overripe bananas also make bread sweet, so adjust sugar as per your taste. Feel free to place with brown sugar or jaggery powder.

Oil- Use any vegetable oil.

Curd- This helps to keep the bread moist.

Chocolate Chips- To make this banana bread tastier.

HOW TO MAKE BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP BREAD

First off. You’ll need to mash the bananas with the help of fork or you can make puree and set aside. Use overripe bananas or ripe is also fine. In a large bowl add curd and sugar and mix well until sugar dissolves completely. Whisk oil, vanilla extract, and then add mashed banana.

Sift the dry ingredients separately except oats.

Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold well. Then fold in the half chocolate chip and reserve some chocolate chip for topping.

Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Top with remaining chocolate chip.

Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.

HOW TO STORE BANANA BREAD

This banana bread will stay great on the counter for up to 3 days at room temperature when wrapped in cling wrap or foil wrap, and then kept in an airtight container. Banana bread can last up to three months, if you placed it well wrapped in the freezer. Defrost banana bread in the fridge overnight and 2 hours over the counter before consuming. Just microwave it for 1 or 2 minutes, if you like warm or you can directly consume it.

RIPE OR UNRIPE BANANAS

Ripe banana works great instead of unripe. Be sure to use ripe or overripe banana. It gives perfect sweetness to the bread and make the bread moist and soft.

CAN I MAKE MUFFINS INSTEAD OF BREAD

Yes, it’s easy and simple. Few little things have to keep in mind. Firstly, most important is temperature and time. If you are making a bread it will take around 30-40 minutes, whereas, in muffins it hardly takes 20 minutes. For muffins, you can slightly increase the temperature. One loaf of bread will make 10 muffins.
