    Method

  • 1. Pre-heat oven - 175°C, low rack
  • 2. Line a clean loaf pan with parchment paper
  • 3. Grease with baking spray
  • 4. Melt the butter in the microwave
  • 5. Place the melted butter and sugar in a large bowl and whisk until combined
  • 6. Crack the eggs into the bowl. Whisk until completely combined and the mixture is smooth
  • 7. Whisk the milk and vanilla into the batter
  • 8. Peel the bananas and add them to the bowl. Using the end of the whisk or a dinner fork, mash them into the batter
  • 9. Measure the flour, baking soda, and salt into the bowl
  • 10. Switch to using a spatula and gently stir until the ingredients are just barely combined and no more dry flour is visible
  • 11. Last but not least, scatter the chocolate over the batter and gently fold them in
  • 12. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, using the spatula to scrape all the batter from the bowl. Smooth the top of the batter.
  • 13. Bake until the top of the cake is caramelized dark brown with some yellow interior peeking through and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, 50 to 65 minutes
  • 14. Set the loaf, still in the pan, on a wire cooling rack. Let it cool for 10 minutes
  • 15. Grasping the parchment paper sling, lift the loaf out of the pan and place on the cooling rack. Cool for another 10 minutes before slicing
  • 16. Serve
