CHOCOLATE CHUNK BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula. (Alternatively, use a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water.) Flip a sheet pan upside-down, spray it with nonstick baking spray, and line it with parchment paper. Using an offset spatula, spread the melted chocolate in an even layer over the parchment paper. Place in the freezer to set, 30 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine water and flax meal. Set aside to thicken, 30 minutes and up to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl: both flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Put the bananas and vanilla extract in a plastic deli container, then purée with an immersion blender, 30 seconds. Add the puréed banana to a large mixing bowl along with canola oil, apple cider (or orange juice), the flax mixture, and the sugar. Stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients and stir just to combine, until there's no visible flour. Stir in the chopped pecans.
• Pull chocolate from the freezer and break it up into shards. Using a rubber spatula, fold the shards into the batter. The folding motion will further break up the chocolate, which is okay.
• Spray a standard loaf pan with nonstick baking spray. Scrape batter into the pan and smooth out the top. Tap the pan on a hard surface to settle the batter. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top of the batter. Bake 1 hour.
• Banana bread is done when a cake tester comes out clean. Let cool completely in the pan, then run a knife around the edge, invert onto a plate, slice, and serve.

BANANA BREAD WITH PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture. With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together for a good 3 minutes; you want a light and fluffy banana cream. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla; beat well and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated; no need to overly blend. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Give the pan a good rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
• Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Don't get nervous if the banana bread develops a crack down the center of the loaf; that's no mistake, it's typical. Rotate the pan periodically to ensure even browning.
• Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes or so, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Toast the slices of banana bread, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.
