Author: 
Recipe type: Bread
Cuisine: American
 
Ingredients
  • 1 stick unsweetened butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ - ½ cup raw or turbinado sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350º F.
  2. Butter, or use cooking spray, on a standard 9” x 5” x 3” loaf pan. You can also use smaller loaf pans.
  3. With an electric hand mixer, or a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar well, until light and fluffly. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until well incorporated.
  4. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together dry ingredients until well combined. Mix together with the butter/sugar/egg mixture; blend well.
  5. Add the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla; stir well.
  6. Add the chocolate chips and stir just until combined, don’t over work the batter. The goal is to get them evenly distributed throughout the batter without over doing it.
  7. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, sprinkle entire top with raw or turbinado sugar. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let cool on a rack in the pan for 10-15 minutes and then either turn out onto rack to finish cooling, or slice and serve.
