Cinnamon Chip Banana Bread
Yield: 1 loaf

This is a terrific, very banana-filled, bread. The cinnamon chips add an extra sweetness and spice that make for a nice surprise.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cinnamon chipsDirections:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 5x8-inch loaf pan.
2. Mix bananas, butter, sugars, egg and vanilla in medium bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir just until flour is incorporated. Stir in chips, reserving a few for the top
4. Pour into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle reserved chips on top of the batter. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out loaf onto rack to cool completely.
Tips:
*Sub 1/2 whole wheat flour if you'd like.
*Use any flavor chip that you wish, but the cinnamon chips are quite delicious!Source: RecipeGirl.com

Hey Lori
I’ve got a thing for bananas, bread, cake, cookies, etc. I have these chips and have been hesitant to use them, not knowing if they are too intense or fake tasting. Now, I’ll have to try them out. Thanks………Mark

Let me start by saying, there is nothing I hate more than dry banana bread/muffins/baked goods. Let me finish by saying this bread does not fall into that any of those categories. I honestly don’t know what makes this recipe so special, but every time I make it, it’s turns out incredible. I cook it for 55 minutes, and I’m too lazy to wait for it to cool, so I don’t. My favorite version of this is with cinnamon chips, but since those are only sold around Christmas time, I have tried it with toffee chips and dark chocolate chips and have loved it every time. I don’t measure the bananas, but I usually use 3-4. (The more the merrier, seriously) On my latest batch I used four bananas and it was AMAZING. AND I used all whole wheat flour, yet it remains perfect. Make this. It’s fool proof.
