Ingredients:
\n 1 cup(226 grams) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for buttering the pans
\n 6 very ripe large bananas (frozen and thawed work great)
\n 1\u00be cups(350 grams) granulated sugar
\n 4 large eggs
\n 2\u00bd cups(315 grams) all-purpose flour
\n 1 teaspoonfine sea salt
\n 2 teaspoonsbaking soda
\n 1 cup(170 grams) chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips (optional)
\n 1 cup(113 grams) chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans (optional)
\n Turbinado or other sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)<\/p>\n
Directions: <\/p>\n
Heat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Butter two 9×5-inch loaf pans. (A loaf pan plus an 8-inch cake pan also works well, but note that the shallower pan will bake faster.)
\nIn a large bowl, mash the bananas with a potato masher.
\nMix in the butter, sugar, and eggs well.
\nIn a medium bowl, sift (or whisk) together the flour, salt, and baking soda, and add to the banana batter.
\nStir just until the flour mostly disappears. Add the optional chocolate and\/or nuts, then stir just until no streaks of flour are visible.
\nPour into the buttered loaf pans (feel free to mix and match pans, but no pan should be more than \u2154 full). Sprinkle a thin layer of turbinado sugar on top.
\nBake until the top is dry and deep golden brown, and springs back when lightly pressed with a finger in the center. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out dry or with moist crumbs clinging (and maybe chocolate streaks, but no wet batter), 35 to 45 minutes, or less for shallower pans.
\nLet the loaves cool until warm, about 30 minutes, then unmold, or let cool fully in the pan (handy for storage). Store tightly covered at room temperature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
