Mini Banana Breads

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time35 minutes
Total Time45 minutes
Course: Dessert
Keyword: bread, cake

Equipment

  • 2 Mini 3" x 5" loaf pans
  • Stand mixer (just makes life easier)

Ingredients

  • 57 grams unsalted butter, softened (¼ cup, half a stick)
  • 100 grams granulated sugar (½ cup)
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • ½ cup mashed banana (1 banana)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (oops)
  • 90 grams all purpose flour (¾ cup)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips (optional...yeah...right)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • Oil both loaflet pans.
  • In a stand mixer on high, cream together the butter and sugar for 1-2 minutes.
  • Reduce speed to medium and add the egg, mashed banana, and vanilla until incorporated.
  • Mix together the flour, soda, and salt. Reduce the mixer to low and add a large spoonful of the flour mixture at a time just until incorporated.
  • Remove the mixing bowl and scrape the sides with a spatula. If you're adding the chocolate chips -- and we know you are -- fold them in.
  • Evenly distribute to the two loaflet pans. (Should be about 230 grams each, depending on your banana...which sounds way more suggestive than it is.)
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pans for 15 minutes then remove from pans and let cool on wire rack.

Notes

I used mini chocolate chips but I suppose you could use the regular sized ones.
