• Mash the banana, zest and juice. Don't mash it too much, it will get too runny.
• Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and bicarbonate soda into a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
• Add the remaining ingredients (except for the chopped chocolate) into the mixing bowl. Beat until thoroughly mixed. It takes less than 1 minute. For me, it's 40 to 45 seconds.
• Gently stir in the chocolate chips coated in flour.
• Quickly transfer the batter to the prepared loaf tin. Level the top.
• Bake at 160°C for 60 minutes.
• To test if the cake is done, insert a skewer into the cake. The skewer should come out clean, and the cake slightly shrinks away from the tin.
• Optional: Once you remove the cake from the oven, sprinkle some chocolate over the top of the hot cake. I like to use chocolate chips as they don't lose their shape even when melted.
• Let the loaf cool down for 10 minutes in the tin, then remove from the tin and continue cooling down on the wire rack.

ULTIMATE BANANA BREAD FROM AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN SEASON RECIPE

Steps:

• 11: Coffee Break Sweets PRINT PAGESHOPPING LIST WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS: Recipes for ultimate banana bread abound, but because they include an overload of bananas for flavor, the bread's texture is often soggy. We wanted a moist, not mushy, loaf that tasted of banan...(more) INSTRUCTIONS 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8½ by 4½-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in large bowl. 2. Place 5 bananas in microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap and cut several steam vents in plastic with paring knife. Microwave on high power until bananas are soft and have released liquid, about 5 minutes. Transfer bananas to fine-mesh strainer placed over medium bowl and allow to drain, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes (you should have ½ to ¾ cup liquid). 3. Transfer liquid to medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced to ¼ cup, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat, stir reduced liquid into bananas, and mash with potato masher until fairly smooth. Whisk in butter, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla. 4. Pour banana mixture into flour mixture and stir until just combined with some streaks of flour remaining. Gently fold in walnuts, if using. Scrape batter into prepared pan. Slice remaining banana diagonally into ¼-inch-thick slices. Shingle banana slices on top of either side of loaf, leaving 1½-inch-wide space down center to ensure even rise. Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over loaf. 5. Bake until toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean, 55 to 75 minutes. Cool bread in pan on wire rack 15 minutes, then remove loaf from pan and continue to cool on wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. TECHNIQUE DO THE RIPE THING Don't even think of making banana bread with anything less than very ripe, heavily speckled fruit-unless you're fine with a bland loaf. As bananas ripen, their starch converts to sugar at an exponential rate. In lab tests, we found heavily speckled bananas had nearly three times the amount of fructose (the sweetest of the sugars in fruit) than less spotty bananas. (The exact percentage will vary from fruit to fruit.) But the impact of ripeness only goes so far: We found little difference in sweetness between loaves baked with completely black bananas and those made with heavily speckled ones. TOO SOON 1.8% FRUCTOSE A lightly speckled banana has only a little fructose, the sweetest sugar in fruit. JUST RIGHT 5.3% FRUCTOSE A heavily speckled banana has a lot more fructose.
