Banana Bread with Dark Chocolate Chips

preparation

• 1.

  Preheat the oven at 390ºF for 30 minutes to speed up the waiting time and let’s get to the dough!

• 2.

  Mash the bananas in a bowl. Tip: choose ripe bananas to make it much easier to mash them.

• 3.

  Add to this mixture 2 egg yolks, a tablespoon of La Española Light in Colour olive oil and a little vanilla essence for extra flavour.

• 4.

  Mix the dry ingredients (flour, oatmeal, baking powder) and add them to the liquid ingredients little by little.

• 5.

  This point is very important (it will define the final texture!): beat the egg whites until stiff (with a mixer, by hand or by machine, as you prefer!) Do not let them flatten because otherwise they are no longer useful.

• 6.

  Add the whipped egg whites to the rest of the previously created mixture very little by little, not all at once.

• 7.

  Once the dough is ready, you can add the ingredients you like (nuts, chocolate chips, cinnamon to taste, etc.).

• 8.

  Coat the mold with olive oil so that it does not stick and is tastier! To make it clear that it is a banana bread, place two banana halves on top of the dough
