Chocolate Cherry Banana Bread

Note: I was sent Northwest Cherries in order to write this post. All opinions are mine alone.

My husband and I were recently invited to go down the shore with our friends, and I wanted to bring something as a thank you for a weekend at the beach. Luckily, I had some overripe bananas sitting on my countertop, so I made some banana bread to bring with us.

As I mentioned in my recent post, I have quite a few cherries in my house at the moment, so I decided to snazz up the banana bread with some fresh chopped cherries and chocolate chips.

Ingredients:

  • 2 to 3 very ripe bananas
  • 1/3 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cherries, pitted and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 4×8 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, letting it hang over the sides.

Add the bananas to a large mixing bowl, mashing until smooth.

Stir in the butter and brown sugar. Add in the egg and almond extract, mixing to combine.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add this to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the cherries and chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake 50 to 60 minutes at 350 degrees F, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the banana bread from the pan using the parchment paper overhang (and a knife, if needed).

Let cool completely. Slide and serve with fresh cherries, if desired.

Oh man was this good! Cherries and chocolate go so well together, don’t they?

The bread was nice and moist and the banana flavor complemented the chocolate cherry combination.

I wrapped the banana bread in parchment paper with some kitchen twine and added it to a based with my Blueberry-Chia Seed Jam, some homemade Cinnamon Honey Butter, and some local ground coffee.

I hope they liked it!
