Banana bread with chocolate chip (made with oil)

Prep time: 10 mins     Bake time: 45 mins
Makes 12-15 slices

Ripe bananas - every now and then we are left with overripe bananas and if you are like me and do not like a waste - here is one of my recipes using it! This banana and chocolate chip cake has a moist crumb and warming tones of cinnamon and mix spice.

265 g self-raising flour
100 g soft brown sugar
1 tsp mixed spice
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 bananas, mashed (about 180 g of peeled weight)
2 eggs, beaten lightly
125 ml whole milk
85 ml vegetable oil
1 cup (250 ml capacity) of chocolate chip (I use 60% cocoa solids)

1. Preheat the oven to 170*C and line 10x20 cm baking tin with parchment paper.
2. Combine all the dry ingredients together. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Mix in the chocolate chips.
3. Put the batter in the tin and place in the centre of the oven. Bake for about 45-50 mins or until a skewer (cake tester) inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
4. Leave to cool in the tin for about 5 mins and transfer to the wire rack. You can drizzle some melted chocolate on top.
5. Enjoy!
