Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups mashed bananas this was about 3 large bananas or 4 small for me
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten, room temperature preferred
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- Coarse sugar for sprinkling, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a 9x5x3" pan by greasing and flouring the sides and 1" up the bottom of the pan. shake out excess flour. Set aside.
- Combine melted butter, canola oil, and sugars. Stir in 1 1/2 cups mashed bananas.
- Stir in eggs and vanilla extract.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and stir until well-combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet until just combined -- do not over-mix. A few streaks of flour remaining in the batter is OK.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared baking pan and sprinkle generously with sugar (if desired).
- Bake in 350F (175C) oven for 65-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean/without wet batter.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before running a knife around the inside of the pan and inverting onto a cooling rack to cool before slicing and serving.
