Banana and Chocolate

One of my family’s favorite after school snack is my Banana Bread Muffins with Chocolate Chips.

This recipe is more of a cake but would still be a good after school snack.

Chocolate Chip Banana Snack Cake

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup mashed ripe banana (1)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk or sour milk
  • 1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate pieces
  • Purchased fudge or caramel ice cream topping (optional)
  • Banana slices (optional)

1) Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8x2-inch baking pan; set aside. In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt; set aside.

2) In a medium mixing bowl beat butter with electric mixer on medium for 30 seconds. Add sugar, beating until combined. Beat in egg until well combined. Beat in banana and vanilla until combined. Alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk, beating on low after each addition just until combined. (Batter may appear slightly curdled.) Stir in chocolate pieces. Spread in prepared pan.

3) Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 20 minutes. If desired, serve warm with fudge topping and banana slices.
