Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Tuesday nights are board game nights and after one or two games, I'm typically ready for some fuel. To counter my board game burnout, I made a loaf of chocolate chip banana bread to keep me going tonight. I brought this bread to a prior game night and it was a big hit. I hope everyone enjoys it this time too (partially because I don't want to end up eating it all!) I love combing bananas and chocolate.

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 ripe bananas
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1/4 cup melted Earth Balance
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a loaf pan and set it aside.
2. In a food processor, combine bananas, Earth Balance, almond milk, sugar, and vanilla. Process until smooth. Add flour, baking soda, and a dash of salt. Mix well.
3. Fold chocolate chips into the mixture.
4. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan.
5. Bake on the center oven rack until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, approximately 35-45 minutes.
6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan, on a wire rack before removing and slicing it.
