The best banana bread * hint it uses a 1/2 & 1/2 flour and cornmeal. (Click image to link to recipe)INGREDIENTS • 1 stick (8 Tbls / 4 oz / 1/4 lb) butter, melted • 3-4 uber ripe bananas • 1 cup sugar • 2 eggs • 1 cup all purpose flour • 1 cup cornmeal • 1 teaspoon baking soda • 1 teaspoon salt • 8 oz dark chocolate INSTRUCTIONS 1 Preheat oven to 350 F. 2. Smash up to bananas in a big bowl with a fork. 3. Add sugar and mix in. 4 Add eggs and mix in. 5. Add flour, baking soda, and salt (kind of mix them in on the top and then fold them into the rest of the batter). Here's the most important part: DO NOT OVER-MIX. Do it as little as possible (i.e. ensure there are no huge chunks of flour, but don't feel like you have to get every last speck. the lack of overwork keeps it nice and moist). 6. Then add the butter and mix in (again, get the majority, but don’t feel like all of the butter has to be absorbed. If some pools on the surface / edges it will make the exterior crisp and delicious). Gently mix in dark chocolate. 7. Pour into pan size of your choosing (muffins, loaf pan, cake pan . . . whatever you have). Timing will depend on the size of the pan, but could run from 20 minutes for muffins to about an hour for loaf pan. I always remove it a little bit sooner than you would think because I like it moist. It shouldn't be wiggly, but doesn't have to be firm.
