Suggested Beer Pairings

Porter – Most porters have a nice maltiness. This characteristic will pair very well with this bread, and it will bring out it’s sweetness. If you can find a chocolate porter, even better.

Stout – If you are looking for a little bit more robustness, a stout is the way to go. Again, a chocolate stout would be even better, and if you are looking to go a little crazy, a chili stout might just work.

This bread will work with a wide range of beer pairings, but when it comes down to it, the maltier the better.

The Recipe

Banana bread is the perfect dessert or breakfast on-the-go recipe. Make it the weekend before the work/school week begins, throw in some chocolate chips, and you have the perfect quick snack. This banana bread is pretty straight forward, except that in this recipe, we decided to throw in some chocolatey-goodness. Even cooler, this entire recipe is mixed in one bowl — inevitably eliminating the amount of dishes you have to clean up. Simply mix mashed banana, brown sugar, melted butter, chocolate chips, ground cinnamon, and the baking essentials of: eggs, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Pour that mix in a lightly-greased bread pan and bake for an hour. That’s literally all it takes.

Looking to lighten things up a bit? Simply substitute the melted butter with coconut oil.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium-sized bananas ripe
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • nonstick spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and spray a standard bread pan with nonstick spray. Line the pan with a parchment paper sling. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mash the banana with the brown sugar. Add the butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine. Next, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until combined. It's OK if the batter is lumpy. Stir in the chocolate chips, and then pour into the prepared bread pan.
