Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup butter melted
  • ½ cup sour cream I used low fat
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup coarsely smashed chunky very ripe banana (about 3 small)
  • 1 6 oz. package semi-sweet chocolate chunks
  • ½ cup sliced almonds toasted and cooled

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350º
  • In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
  • Combine sugar, melted butter, sour cream, eggs and vanilla in a large mixing bowl; beat until well blended. Stir in bananas. Add flour mixture to banana mixture, stirring just until moistened. Mix in chocolate chunks and nuts.
  • Spoon batter into an 8 ½ x 4 ½ x 3-inch loaf pan coated with baking spray with flour. Bake for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.

Notes

*I made 4 mini loaves. Bake mini loaves for 30 minutes or muffins for 18 minutes.
