Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 1 3/4 cups
- Baking soda: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter, softened: 1/2 cup (1 stick)
- Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup
- Large eggs: 2
- Mashed ripe bananas: 3 medium
- Matcha powder: 2 tablespoons
- White chocolate chips: 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and matcha powder.
- Step 3: In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the mashed bananas.
- Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Step 6: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- To keep your matcha banana bread moist, store it tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Warm up a slice in the microwave for 15-20 seconds for a melty white chocolate experience.
- This bread is delicious served with a dollop of whipped cream and a dusting of extra matcha powder for a vibrant presentation.
- For the best matcha flavor, sift the powder with the flour to prevent clumps and ensure even distribution throughout the batter.
