Kid-Approved Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 0.75 cups packed brown sugar
• 0.25 cups butter , softened
• 1 egg
• 3 medium very ripe bananas
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1.25 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.

2. 2

   Beat brown sugar and butter together using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until creamy. Add egg and beat on medium-high speed until mixture is light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Mash bananas using a fork and add to mixture, beating just until mixture is fairly smooth (some lumps are okay).

3. 3

   Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Blend into banana mixture until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes; turn pan over to release loaf and let cool further on a wire rack. Tastes best warm.
