Chocolate chip banana bread

Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 900g loaf tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment.

2. 2

   Beat the softened butter and sugar together using an electric whisk until light and fluffy.

3. 3

   Combine the egg and vanilla extract and pour this in, a little at at time, mixing between each addition.

4. 4

   Fold in the flour, a pinch of salt, the baking powder, mashed banana and all but a handful of the chocolate chips.

5. 5

   Scrape the mixture into the prepared tin and scatter over the rest of the chocolate chips.

6. 6

   Bake for about 50 mins, or until puffed up and cooked through – a skewer inserted into the middle of the loaf should come out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Slice before serving. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.
