Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 overripe bananas
  • 1 stick melted butter, cooled
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp The Spice Girl Kitchen Gingerbread Spice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 ℉ Spray a bread pan with non-stick spray (or grease with butter).
  2. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a large bowl with a hand mixer, mix the bananas until mostly smooth (they can have a few lumps).
  3. Add in the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium until everything is well incorporated.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, Gingerbread spice, and salt. Mix on low for about 1 minute and increase speed to medium for about 30 seconds or until everything is well incorporated. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
  6. Pour batter into your greased pan and bake for 65-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
  7. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Store & Reheat

Store

Store the banana bread in an airtight container to retain moisture. You can also place a slice of bread or a moist paper towel inside the container to help maintain moisture.
Room Temp: This recipe can be stored at room temperature for 4 days. Slice and enjoy at room temperature.
Fridge: Or you can store the banana bread in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Reheat

Microwave: Microwave the banana bread for 15-30 seconds. It should be warm, not scalding!
Oven: If you want to reheat the entire loaf, place it in the oven on warm (170 ℉) for 15 minutes or until heated through. This is a great option for a party. But remember, it is just as delicious at room temperature!
