Description

If you love cozy baking and celebrity recipes, Chrissy Teigen’s banana bread is one you have to try. This banana bread became famous for its super moist texture and rich flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups mashed very ripe bananas*
4 eggs
2⁄3 cup canola oil (or melted butter), plus a little more to grease the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus a little more for dusting the pan
2 cups sugar (or half brown sugar, half white sugar)
1 (3.5-ounce) box vanilla instant pudding mix**
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 (3.5-ounce) bar dark chocolate, chopped into chunks (or anything you love—peanut butter chips, nuts, etc.)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, and oil. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and combine well BUT GENTLY. I swear this came out differently when I used an aggressive electric mixer. Fold in the coconut and chocolate chunks.

Grease and flour a Bundt pan (that means wipe a little grease all over the inside of the pan, dust it with flour, and tip it upside down to shake out any extra flour). Pour the batter into the pan. (This can also make two 8 × 4-inch loaves, but it’s so much more moist in one Bundt pan!)

Bake until the cake springs back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55–60 minutes. (Test it with a toothpick at around 50 minutes.) Let it cool slightly in the pan, then use a butter knife to gently release the cake from the sides of the pan and around the inner circle, then flip it onto a plate.

Notes

• Add a pinch of cinnamon if you like warm spice flavors
