Banana Flax Chocolate Chip Loaf Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 900g loaf tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment. Beat the softened butter and sugar together using an electric whisk until light and fluffy. Combine the egg and vanilla extract and pour this in, a little at at time, mixing between each addition. Fold in the flour, a pinch of salt, the baking powder, mashed banana and all but a handful of the chocolate chips.
• Scrape the mixture into the prepared tin and scatter over the rest of the chocolate chips. Bake for about 50 mins, or until puffed up and cooked through - a skewer inserted into the middle of the loaf should come out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Slice before serving. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.spray 2 loaf pans (8 1/2''X 4 1/2'') with Pam.
• Combine all dry ingredients mix with a whisk and set aside.
• In a larger mixing bowl with electric mixer beat bananas and sugar.
• Then beat in egg substitute.
• Add buttermilk, oil & applesauce.
• Stir in dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula just until combined.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Pour half the batter iinto each loaf pan.
• Bake for 55-65 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• (other than the melted chocolate of course -- check closely for BATTER on the toothpick) when done turn out of the pans onton rack.
• Cool and slice.
• (warm banana bread is awesome but if you try and slice it too soon you will squish the loaf a bit).
• You can change the flavor of "chips". I used Butterscotch and they are great. BUT, I only added 1 cup for the whole recipe, so as not to increase the sweetness/fat/caloric value too much. 1 Cup was just fine!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line a 900g/2lb loaf tin with baking parchment. In a large bowl, mash together the bananas and the sugar with the back of a fork. Add the eggs and mix well with an electric hand whisk until fully incorporated, then add the butter and mix for a couple mins more to blend everything together. Sieve in the flour and baking powder and fold together with a spatula, then add the walnuts and chocolate chips. Give everything one final mix before tipping into the lined loaf tin.
• Bake for 1 hr 5 mins or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool slightly in the tin, then turn out and serve cut into thick slices, either warm or at room temperature. Any uneaten cake will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F Sift dry ingredients (not sugar) in medium bowl and set aside. Beat butter and sugar in separate larger bowl until they are light and fluffy. Beat in bananas then eggs. *I usually beat the bananas in a bowl until I need them, rinse it out, then beat the eggs in the same bowl so I have less dishes to wash.* Stir in flour mixture alternately with boiling water until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Bake for 1 hr 10 min or until risen and firm to touch. *Most of the times I've made it, it doesn't take the full hour to cook.* Let cool and turn out.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
• In a large bowl, mash the bananas coarsely using a fork. They should be fully broken apart, but it's OK if some larger lumpy pieces remain. Whisk in the melted butter, yogurt, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla until well combined.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt to combine. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir to combine using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon. Scrape the sides and base of the bowl well to make sure the mixture is uniformly combined.
• Gently stir in the chocolate until combined, then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer. If using, sprinkle the surface generously with coarse sugar.
• Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the edges of the loaf start to pull away from the edge of the pan, and a tester inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 60 to 75 minutes. If the top of the loaf is becoming too dark before it's baked through, loosely cover with foil.
• Transfer from the oven to a cooling rack and run a thin knife around the edge of the banana bread to separate it from the pan. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before unmolding and cooling completely.
