Ingredients
- ¼ cup cooking oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 bananas mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips plus more for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray the bottom of a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the cooking oil, maple syrup, sugar, eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together the salt, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and flour. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the egg and banana mixture. Stir until the batter is just moistened. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes. Or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the bread comes out mostly clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before using a sharp knife to loosen the bread from the sides of the pan. Invert the bread and let cool completely on a metal cooling rack.
Notes
Bananas:
Be sure to use ripe bananas as they make the very best banana bread!
