Bake a deliciously moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread that tastes like it came from a bakery. This recipe uses ripe bananas for maximum flavor and texture. It is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe large bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas and melted butter until just combined.
  3. Stir in the brown sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black for the best sweetness and moisture.
  • If the top browns too quickly during baking, lightly tent the loaf with aluminum foil for the remainder of the time.
  • For an extra bakery feel, reserve a few chocolate chips and sprinkle them on top before baking.
