Equipment

  • Mixer

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup milk
  • ½ cup instant coffee I used decaf
  • 8 dates pitted
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • ⅔ cup butter softened
  • 2 cups flour
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ⅔ tsp baking soda
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas about 8 medium bananas
  • 2 cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips one 12 oz. bag

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter three 8" x 4" loaf pans.
  • Combine the milk, instant coffee, and dates in the blender. Blend on high until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Cream the butter with the milk, coffee, and dates mixture in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on medium speed until soft and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl.
  • Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed butter mixture with the mixer on low. Add the vanilla and bananas, continuing to mix until well-blended.
  • Add the flour into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Divide the mixture between the two buttered loaf pans and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the loaf comes out clean.
