Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (Edit recipe)

Over the years, we've continually improved core recipes that we make over and over again: carrot cake, baked chicken thighs, and several others come to mind. Banana Bread is another recipe we keep working on, and this is our latest and greatest version. This recipe feels like banana bread meets coffee cake, with a decadent crumb topping, and giant pools of melted chocolate interspersed into the loaf. We both love it, and it doesn't last long in our home.

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat your oven to bake at 350 degrees.

For the Crumb Topping

Mix together 1 tablespoon of flour, 1 tablespoon of light brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of Cinnamon Sugar Cookie blend. Set aside.
Grease a standard loaf pan with ghee or your choice of fat.
In a medium size mixing bowl, add the banana, maple sugar, and vanilla extract. Mash the banana, maple sugar, and vanilla together with a fork.
Add the egg, and whisk into the banana mixture with your fork.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture, and stir to combine evenly. Whisk the ghee to the batter until fully incorporated.
Stir in the chocolate chunks.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, and smooth the top with your spatula as needed. Top with the Cinnamon Sugar Crumble Topping evenly.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the loaf comes out clean.
Allow to cool, then carefully remove from the loaf pan, slice and enjoy.
