Banana Chocolate Chip Bread Without Baking Powder

Banana bread is a classic treat that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. But what if you don't have baking powder on hand? Don't worry, you can still make delicious banana bread without it. Here's a simple and easy recipe for banana chocolate chip bread without baking powder.

Ingredients:

3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well with a whisk or mixer.
Add the salt and baking soda to the mixture and mix well.
Add the all-purpose flour to the mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing from the pan and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

Mash the bananas well for a smoother texture in the bread.
Use ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor and sweetness.
Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense and tough bread.
You can use any type of chocolate chips or even chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
