STEPS
INGREDIENTS
Gather your ingredients for easy access!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, with the rack on the middle shelf.
Wash your hands!!!
Peel your overripe bananas and placed them in a small bowl.
Mash your overripe bananas with a potato masher or a fork.
If your stick of butter (1/2 cup) isn't room temperature, you can melt it down in the microwave. I did mine for about 25 seconds.
Add in 1 cup of sugar.
Beat the butter and sugar with a fitted paddle attachment (or use a standard hand held mixer) on medium-high until light and fluffy.
Add in 1 of the 2 eggs.
Beat the egg thoroughly.
Add in egg #2.
Beat thoroughly.
Add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
You are going to mix this by hand with a spatula!
In a separate bowl add in 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour. I use unbleached flour. You can also use whole wheat flour, if you prefer.
Add in 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.
Add in 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
Add in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Add in 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
Add in 1/4 teaspoon of ground allspice.
Whisk the dry ingredients together!
Tada!!!!
We will add the dry ingredients to our banana mix in three parts.
One! Mix together until ingredients are all combined!
Two! Mix well again. You may need to bump up that speed because it will get harder to mix!
Three! Mix well again!
Now it's time to add in the chocolate chips and sour cream!
Add in 3/4 cup of sour cream and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
Mix well with a spatula!
Time to grease your loaf pan! This baking spray works great. You can also use crisco and flour, if you prefer!
Make sure to get all the sides and corners!
Add in your batter!
Place the pan in the middle of the oven vertical like this. Apparently I need to clean mine. Oops!
Start your timer for 50 minutes!
Since the loaf is getting dark we will cover it with aluminum foil by making a tent.
Like this! This will prevent it from burning or getting darker. Place the loaf back in the oven!
Set that timer for 10 minutes more! You may need to go longer depending on your oven.
After the ten minutes, take the loaf out and uncover to check to see if it is done!
Let the loaf cool for ten minutes in the pan.
Cut yourself a slice and enjoy! To store, wrap the loaf in plastic and keep at room temperature. If storing longer than 2-3 days wrap the loaf tightly in plastic and freeze!
CLEAN YOUR MESS ;)
