The Best Banana Bread

Ingredients:

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 bananas, blackened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup mini chocolate chip

 

Directions:

1 Cream butter and sugar (by hand or mixer).

2 Mash bananas and add by hand to creamed mixture.

3 By hand add eggs, vanilla, baking soda, flour and salt.

 4 Gently stir in buttermilk and chocolate chips.

5 Pour into a greased loaf pan.

6 Bake at 350°F for 1 1/4 hour or until it tests done with a toothpick.

 **I find that coarsely mashing bananas is best and make sure they are over ripe for best flavor.

 I also find that doing the majority of the mixing by hand makes for better texture in the end.
