Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Tutorial

I've tried a lot of banana bread recipes and this one is by far the best. It's not super sweet and it's very few ingredients. No white sugar or oil needed. I threw in some chocolate chips for fun but you can omit them. You can also throw in some nuts if you wanted.

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten

Step 1 

  
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.


Step 2

In your stand mixer or with a hand mixer, cream together butter and brown sugar.

While the butter and sugar are doing their thing, mash the bananas in a separate bowl. 


Step 4

Once the butter and sugar are creamed, add the eggs and banana, blend well.
