Ingredients
- 1 cup butter or margarine softened
- 1 ¼ cups packed brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 bananas ripe
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a standard 9"x5" loaf pan.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add in eggs one by one, beating until well incorporated.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a small bowl, then slowly add them to the wet ingredients.
- Mash up the bananas using a fork and add them to the batter. Add the vanilla extract and stir until well combined.
- If using chocolate chips, coat them in flour in a small bowl to prevent them from sinking, then stir them into the mixture.
- Transfer batter into the buttered and floured loaf pan. Place it in the oven and cook for about 75 minutes, until the top looks cracked and a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
- Let cool and enjoy!
