What You Will Need To Make This Bananas Bread
Equipment:
- Mixing Bowls: Having mixing bowls in a variety of sizes helps in the process of preparing your recipe. I always opt for glass mixing bowls due to the fact that they are easy to clean and they do not react with acidic ingredients which could change the flavors in your recipes.
- Silicone Spatula: This is perfect for blending your ingredients together. It also aids in scraping out your mixing bowl so that no batter is left behind.
- Saucepan: Having a small heavy bottom saucepan is perfect for browning your butter. I like to use one made of stainless steel due to its even heat distribution.
- Loaf Pan: I like to use a non stick 9” x 5” loaf pan for my banana bread.
- Parchment Paper Sheets: Prevents sticking and allows for an easy clean up.
Ingredients:
- Flour: A good All Purpose Flour Is perfect for this recipe.
- Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder: For that deep rich chocolate flavor.
- Baking Soda: This is the leavening agent giving your bread its soft fluffy texture.
- Espresso Powder: Adding espresso powder brings out that deep chocolate flavor.
- Salt: Just a pinch to enhance the flavors.
- Unsalted Butter Browned: Browning your butter will bring a rich caramelized nutty flavor to your bread.
- Sugar: This recipe calls for Dark Brown Sugar for added sweetness and texture.
- Eggs: Helping to bind this recipe together.
- Plain Greek Yogurt: For added moisture, texture and a bit of tangy flavor.
- Vanilla Extract:I always opt for a Pure Vanilla Extract due to its intense vanilla flavor.
- Very Ripe Bananas: The star of the show. The riper the better, you know the ones with the little brown spots that everyone seems to avoid.
- Dark Chocolate Chunks: For that intense chocolate flavor.
