A moist banana bread with chocolate chips and a hint of espresso.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the cooled coffee or espresso, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a stronger espresso flavor, use 1 tablespoon of espresso powder dissolved in the coffee.
  • You can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans along with the chocolate chips.
  • Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and moisture.
