Follow this simple recipe to bake a moist and flavourful chocolate chip banana bread loaf.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
  4. Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the baking soda and salt with the flour.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until the flour streaks disappear. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. 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 black for the best moisture and flavor.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • If the top browns too quickly during baking, loosely tent the loaf with aluminum foil for the remaining cook time.
