Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate truffle filling (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional: chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter. Stir in the baking soda and salt. Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Layer the Batter: Pour half of the banana batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon the chocolate truffle filling in the center, then top with the remaining banana batter, ensuring the truffle is covered.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the bread comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
- Cool and Serve: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
