This Chocolate Chip Miso Banana Bread is a great combination of sweet banana and nutty miso. It is moist and tender and every bite is enhanced with deep rich bittersweet chocolate flavor. The perfect use for those extra ripe bananas.

Ingredients For Making Chocolate Chip Miso Banana Bread

  • All Purpose Flour: Is a versatile flour that is used for most baked goods.
  • Baking Powder: Creates air bubbles in the batter which gives baked goods a light airy texture.
  • Baking Soda: When mixed with an acid like buttermilk, it creates carbon dioxide which will allow your baked goods to rise.
  • Ripe Mashed Banana: Not just ripe but overripe. You know the ones with all the brown spots that everyone avoids. The more brown spots the better. This is when bananas are at their sweetest.
  • Granulated Sugar: Granulated sugar is the perfect sweetener for this recipe due to its neutral flavor.
  • Buttermilk: Gives baked goods a moist texture, and because of its acidity, when it is combined with baking soda in recipes, allows them to rise.
  • Avocado Oil: I like using avocado oil because of its health benefits and its neutral flavor. If you don’t have avocado oil, vegetable oil will work as well.
  • Brown Rice Miso Paste: This will add a salty yet sweet nutty flavor to your banana bread.
  • Pure Vanilla Extract: I rather use pure vanilla extract rather than imatation vanilla extract for its intense flavor but Imatation vanilla will work as well.
  • Bittersweet Chocolate Chips: I like using bittersweet chips but a semisweet chip will work as well.

Tips For Making Chocolate Chip Miso Banana Bread

  • Ripe Bananas: You want to use bananas that are very ripe, you know the ones with all the brown spots that everyone seems to avoid. These are the sweetest ones and perfect for this recipe.
  • Avocado Oil: I used avocado oil for its neutral flavor but vegetable oil will work as well.
