Servings: persons

2 1/2 cups mashed banana (approx. 6 bananas)
2 eggs
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil (or canola or sunflower)
1/4 cup molasses
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/3 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Lightly oil 2 loaf pans (or 1 muffin pan and 1 loaf pan).
2
Mix together bananas, eggs, sugars, oil, and molasses in a medium bowl, beating well.
3
In a separate large bowl, combine cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and flours.
4
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in banana mixture. Stir together.
5
Fold in chocolate and ginger.
6
Spoon batter into pans. If you're using a muffin tin, fill only 3/4 full (these muffins puff up quite a bit!).
7
Bake for 45 min. (or 15 min. for muffins), or until a cake tester inserted comes out clean.
8
Let bread cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
