Ingredients

3 very ripe bananas
1 large egg (room temp is best)
1 ½ c flour
5 T butter, melted and then cooled
⅓ c brown sugar
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp sea salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ c white chocolate chips more for topping
⅔ c sliced almonds more for topping, if desired.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, mash bananas well. Add in egg and whisk together. Mix in butter, vanilla and brown sugar until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and stir.
Fold in the white chocolate chips and almonds.
Pour batter into a parchment lined bread pan and top with extra almonds if desired. If topping with extra white chocolate chips, wait until the bread is out of the oven to sprinkle some on top.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes up clean. Cover lightly with foil for the last 20 minutes to keep the top from browning too much if desired. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before transferring from pan to cooling rack. Enjoy!

Notes

White chocolate chips can burn when baking. I used to add them over top and bake, but now just add them in the last 10-15 minutes and then bake the bread in that time with foil loosely on top to keep them from burning.
For best results, line your bread pan with parchment paper. After recently re-testing this several times, I found this to be the best option.Some of the white chocolate can get stuck to the bottom of the pan as it melts into the bread and then its a big mess and the white chocolate banana bread does not smoothly come out of the pan. Parchment is the way to go for sure!
