For the chocolate chip banana bread:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 3 banana very ripe
- 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
For the whipped mocha mascarpone topping:
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese softened
- 4 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp instant coffee amount depends on how strong of a coffee flavor you want
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
To make the chocolate chip banana bread:
Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
Grease a loaf pan and set aside.
In a medium-size microwavable bowl, microwave the butter until melted, about 40-60 seconds.
Mash in the bananas (the texture should be smooth) with the melted butter.
Mix in the sugar and egg.
Stir in the remaining dry ingredients (all purpose flour, baking soda and salt) and fold in the chocolate chips. Make sure not to over-mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake the mixture in the oven for about 45-55 minutes until golden brown. Insert a knife in the middle, and if it comes out clean, then the banana bread is done and ready.
Immediately, remove the bread from the pan. Do not allow the bread to cool in the pan or the bread will be turn soggy.
To make the whipped mocha mascarpone topping:
In a small bowl, stir together the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, coffee, cocoa powder and vanilla until well combined.
Whip until stiff peaks form.
Serve with the chococlate chip banana bread.
