Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of self-raising flour, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 tsp of your favorite spice mix, and 1 tsp of baking soda. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, peel and mash the 2 bananas until smooth. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1/3 cup of olive oil until fully combined.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet mixture and add the mashed bananas. Stir gently until just combined.
- Gently fold in the 1 cup of chopped milk chocolate, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the loaf and serve. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate and Banana Loaf!
Tips:
- Ensure your bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- Don't overmix the batter; fold the ingredients gently to keep the loaf tender.
- If you prefer a stronger chocolate flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
- Line your loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal and a cleaner loaf.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, your loaf is ready.
