Dry

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp allspice substitute with nutmeg or clove

Wet (at room temperature)

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar white or brown
  • 1 large fully ripened or brown-peeled banana ~1 cup, mashed or pureed
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 2 tsp lemon juice

Fixins

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or sweet
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl combine all ingredients from the Dry list. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer ’till soft and frothy (~5 min). If you don’t have a mixer, partially melt the butter and whisk in the sugar ’till creamy.
  • Mix in the rest of the wet ingredients. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry bowl and combine with a fork. For a lighter texture, mix no more than 15 seconds, even if there are visible lumps. Avoid over-mixing as it hardens the bread.
  • Fold in the Fixins.
  • Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. Sprinkle flour to coat. Turn upside down to rid of excess.
  • Pour batter into the pan and spread evenly.
  • Combine the glaze in a small bowl and pour over the batter. Decorate with a layer of banana slices, if you have any left. Sprinkle more chocolate chips on top.
  • Place in the center of the mid-level oven rack and bake for 60 min OR the inserted toothpick to the center of the loaf comes out clean and the edges are brown.
  • Once completely cooled, Invert the pan and the loaf should drop out.
