Ingredients
•
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
•
1/4 cup butter, softened
•
1 egg
•
3 medium very ripe bananas
•
1 cup all-purpose flour
•
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
•
1 teaspoon baking soda
•
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.
2
Beat brown sugar and butter together using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until creamy. Add egg and beat on medium-high speed until mixture is light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Mash bananas using a fork and add to mixture, beating just until mixture is fairly smooth (some lumps are okay).
3
Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Blend into banana mixture until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes; turn pan over to release loaf and let cool further on a wire rack. Tastes best warm.
