Skillet Chocolate Ginger Banana Bread  

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 large or 4 small over-ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, optional
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, more or less to taste
  • 3 tablespoons diced candied ginger, more or less to taste

Preparation Instructions

  1. Prepare to bake—Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and lightly grease the ceramic non-stick skillet.
  2. Start the batter—Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside. In a large bowl, add melted butter and sugar, stirring until blended. Add eggs one at a time, stirring until each is well incorporated. Add mashed bananas and vanilla, continuing to stir until blended.
  3. Finish the batter—Add flour mixture a third at a time, stirring well after each addition. Add chocolate chips and ginger and stir until evenly distributed.
  4. Bake the bread—Pour batter into prepared ceramic non-stick skillet and bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Leave in pan to cool slightly and serve warm.

Tips

How Ripe Should Bananas Be?

Overripe bananas are key to this bread’s intense flavor, so you’ll want a bunch that’s well past its prime—the more large brown spots, the merrier.
