My kids with me at the grocery store: "OOOh!! Get some bananas!"
Me, in my head: "They never eat the goddamn bananas." Me (responsibly) out loud: "You never eat damn the bananas." Them: "Yes we..." Me: "You don't." Me, at home several days later with the goddamn bananas: "Oh, a snack, you say? Well I have your perfectly ripe (i.e. goddamn) bananas right here." Them: "Mmmmmmm, no thanks." Me, in my head and also out loud: "Goddamnit." So heres a recipe for banana bread. I measure dry ingredients in grams mostly, it's more accurate and consistent. Makes 1 loaf. Wet Mix 3 super ripe bananas 80g brown sugar 1/3 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons plain unsweetened milk 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar 2 teaspoons vanilla Dry Mix 225g all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom 1/2 teaspoon salt 40g rolled oats, plus more for topping 50g mini chocolate chips, plus more for topping Heat oven to 350° F. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas. You won't get all the little chunks, but that's ok. Add the sugar, oil, milk, vinegar, and vanilla, and whisk to combine. In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt. Whisk to combine. With a rubber spatula, stir the dry mix into the wet. When it's about half way combined, add the oats and chocolate chips and continue folding the batter together, until there are little to no dry spots left. A few patches of unincorporated flour in the batter is ok. It's important to the texture to not over-mix. Grease a loaf pan, and pour in the batter. Sprinkle some additional oats on top, then sprinkle chocolate chips. Bake 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick can pass through it and come out mostly dry. Let rest 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack. Watch with pleasure as your kids finally eat those goddamn bananas, while simultaneously topping off the swear jar, and praying you don't get a call from the school. Enjoy!

Wow, this recipe for chocolate chip banana bread sounds delicious! The combination of cinnamon, cardamom, and chocolate chips in the batter sounds like it will give the bread a unique and flavorful twist. I love that you provide the measurements in grams too, as it makes it easier to be precise with the ingredients. I'll definitely have to try this recipe out, especially since it's a great way to use up those overripe bananas. Thanks for sharing!
