Hello and welcome to In The Kitchen With Matt.
I am your host, Matt Taylor.
Today, I'm going to show you how to make a
chocolate banana bread.
Oh yeah, I love chocolate and I love banana bread.
Really easy to do.
Simple ingredients.
If I can do it, you can do it.

Let's get baking down below.
In the description box, you'll find a list of the
ingredients and their amounts.
So to begin, I'm going to work with the dry ingredients
and I have one and one half cups of all purpose flour,
one half teaspoon of baking soda, one half teaspoon
of salt, one teaspoon of baking powder and then in a sifter,
I'm going to add one third cup of cocoa powder.
You definitely want to use some kind of a sifter sieve because
cocoa powder is prone to like clumping.
And then, like you, if you see in there, there's a
bunch of clumps.
I'm just going to use the back of my knuckles and just kind of
push those clumps around and break those up a little bit.
OK.
And then what the risk is, come in here and whisk
it all together.
You also you just throw all those ingredients in the sifter
to begin with if you wanted to.
And those are the dry ingredients.
Set that aside
in a large bowl, I have one half cup of softened butter.
It could be melted as well.
And if you don't want to use butter, you can use
oil instead, like vegetable oil,
canola oil, coconut oil, three fourths cup of sugar,
white granulated sugar.
And then with a mixer.
Or you can use your whisk.
I'm going to cream these together.
Great.
And now I'll add in one teaspoon of animal extract and
then two large eggs and then give this a good mix.
And then scrape the sides of the ball
and then at this point and add the sour cream and the sour
cream is commonly added to breads and cakes to make
them more moist.
You don't have to add it if you don't want to.
But I like to add it.
You have to make.
All right.
Excellent.
And then I have three medium to large, really ripe bananas.
And now we want to mash these up.
OK.
Oh, just please.
Really nice,
right, bananas?
And then I'm going to come in here with a fork and you can
use like a potato masher to sometimes I'll do that.
OK.
Nice.
Then I'll take my battery back over here,
and I'll just squish there
and put those mashed bananas right in that bowl.
And then at this point, I'm just going to stir those
bananas in there really well.
And now let's start adding the dry ingredients about a third
of it at a time.
I'm just going to stir this and you can mix it.
I just don't want to over mix it.
So just be careful about over mixing.
OK.
Smart.
Come back in here.
Scrape those signs down.
But the rest of that in their way.
OK.
Also, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
or 176 Celsius.
All right, I'm going to be done with the mixer here and do the
rest by hand.
All right.
Yeah.
And now that chocolate banana bread is ready to go.
And then to finish it off, I have one cup of milk
chocolate chips you can use.
Semi-Sweet are dark and I'm going to only put in.
About a half of a cup and an hour for that in the batter.
And then I have a five by nine inch bread pan, and I spread
the side and the bottom and I put a piece of parchment paper
on the bottom.
I really just don't want the bottom to stick at all
to the pan.
You can also flour you shortening and flour the whole
thing as well.
A variety of ways that you can do this.
And we will pour that in there.
I'm just going to wiggle out a little bit.
And now with the rest of these chocolate chips,
I'm going to sprinkle on them on the top here
kind of evenly.
And now put this in the oven again,
350 degrees Fahrenheit, 176 Celsius and bake it for 50
minutes to an hour to when you poke it with a toothpick.
The toothpick comes out clean on to that step.
And when it comes out of the oven, it'll look something
like this allow it to cool completely in the pan and then
we can cut into it.
And once it has time to cooled, I'm just going to
take a spatula cake specially here.
Just go around the edges just to make sure that it's not
stuck to the pan
and I'm going to remove it.
From Japan there.
Take off that parchment paper
and there it go.
Yeah, look at that.
Pretty awesome.
Cut into it.
And there you have it.
That's what it looks like on the inside.
Awesome homemade chocolate banana bread.
So yummy.
Really easy to do.
If I can do it, you can do it.
I'm Matt Taylor.
