Chocolate-chip banana bread

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C. Brush two 9 x 19cm (base measurement) loaf pans with melted butter to lightly grease.

Step 2

Place the flour, white and dark chocolate bits, sugar, coconut and bicarbonate of soda in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

Combine the banana, milk, butter and eggs in a medium bowl. Add to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Pour mixture evenly among prepared pans and use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the bread comes out clean. Turn onto a wire rack to cool. (To freeze, see below.)

Step 4

To serve: Preheat a grill on high. Cook slices under preheated grill, about 6cm from heat source, until golden brown on both sides. Serve immediately with butter.
