Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the banana mixture and stir until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and matcha powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract along with the vanilla.
- You can substitute the white chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips for a different taste.
- If you prefer a nuttier texture, consider adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
