Lil Banana Bread with a BIG Crunch!

I always wondered why I never saw Banana Bread recipes with Banana Chips in them cuz they seemed to be the perfect match right? So I took matters into my own hands. This is a very basic Banana Bread recipe made into mini loaves and with Banana Chips and Pecans. Crunchy and sweet and super cute!

Ingredients: (1 regular loaf or 8 mini loaves)


3/4 c sugar
1/2 c (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 eggs
1 c (2 medium) bananas, mashed
1/3 c milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c chopped pecans
1/4 c chopped dried banana chips
16 whole banana chips


Prep:


1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 8 mini loaf pans.


2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs; beat well. Add bananas, milk and vanilla; blend well.


3. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the banana mixture; stir just until moistened. Stir in pecans and banana chips.


4. Divid mixture into prepared pan and top each loaf with 2 whole banana chips. Bake 25-30 minutes, until toothpick inserted into center of a loaf comes out clean.
