How to Make Grandma Carson's Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup packed brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Mash 3 ripe bananas and add them to the butter mixture along with 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
