How to make Chocolate Chip Banana Bread?
It’s very simple to make banana bread. Start by mushing your well ripe bananas into a bowl with using a fork until you have a gooey consistency. Mix with plain yoghurt and set aside.
Sift all your dry ingredients and set them aside. Combine the butter and sugar. Mix until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time. Beat well after each addition. Add vanilla essence and banana essence. Now it’s time to add the main ingredient. Add the banana and mix it and add the flour mixture. Add chocolate chip finally. Once you have mixed everything in, butter your loaf pan and dump the batter into the pan. Level it in the pan then add chocolate chips on top.
Bake in a 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven for a little less than an hour. Use a skewer to check if the cake is well baked. Let the cake cool down before you start slicing.
