Banana Bread Recipe Serving

What are my favorite ways to eat banana bread? Oh, there are so many ways! I love to serve this banana bread when it is warm and the chocolate is slightly melting. It is just CRAZY delicious. If you want to take this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe even further, consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream to it. It’s just that crazy good!

Easy Banana Bread

To get things going, remember to start with what I like to call my elder bananas. Old bananas just doesn’t sound right. Elder bananas is a nice way to say they are aging well and still able to be used well. Plus it is probably politically correct to call these elder bananas. Or you can just call them overripe bananas like most people do. 🙂 Either way, you don’t want to use fresh bananas.

Why use ripe bananas for banana bread?

Ripe bananas are much easier to mash and will fold a lot smoother into your batter. You don’t want thick chunks of bananas baking or your bread won’t bake consistently. When bananas are ripe, they are also a lot sweeter and will add more flavor to your recipe.

How long should I bake banana bread?

I like my banana bread to bake nice and slow, so I always cook mine on 350 for about an hour to an hour and ten minutes. You can always adjust these times accordingly. I know that altitude can sometimes wreak havoc on baking times. Make sure to use a toothpick in the middle and when it comes clean, you know you are fully baked and ready to cool.
