Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 300 grams (1 ½ cups) sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 130 grams avocado oil or salad oil
  • 250 grams banana approx 2 cups when sliced. 1 medium banana = 1 cup sliced.
  • 170 grams (1 cup) chocolate chips I use a mix of semi sweet and dark chocolate chips
  • 140 grams (1 cup) frozen blueberries

Equipment

  • bread tins of any shape

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix dry ingredient: flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  2. Add eggs, vanilla and salad oil.
  3. Mash bananas and add them to the mixture
  4. Add chocolate chips and blueberries. If you use fresh blueberries, be gentle wen folding into the batter so they do not smash
  5. Preheat oven to 350℉.
  6. Pour into bread tins and let sit for 20 minutes.
  7. Bake at 350℉ for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Adjust time as necessary. The original recipe called for 45 minutes but mine took 1 hour and 30 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the bread and if it comes out clean then it is ready.
  8. Let it cool before serving. I suggest trying it with some greek yogurt!
