Chocolate Chip Streusel Banana Bread
This over-the-top banana bread turns out great even at high altitude!
Servings: 12 slices
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 3 medium bananas, mashed
- pinch salt
- 1 ¾ cup flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Streusel Topping
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp butter, grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°
- Cream together the butter and the sugar with a mixer until fluffy.
- Add eggs, bananas, and salt, mixing well after each addition.
- Add flour and baking powder and mix well.
- Add chocolate chips.
- Pour into a greased 9x5 loaf pan.
- For streusel topping: Combine topping ingredients. (I grate the butter on a cheese grater, straight from the stick.) Sprinkle the topping over the bread batter.
- Bake for 1 hour - 1 hour and 15 minutes, until a knife inserted into the bread from the top comes out clean. Cool completely and wrap in plastic wrap for storage.
Notes
This makes a great basic banana bread if you leave out the chocolate chips and streusel topping.
