This recipe brings back a warm memory of home baking, giving you a deeply flavorful and wonderfully moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. We focus on using perfectly ripe bananas for the best texture and sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe large bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the mashed bananas and the chocolate chips. The batter will be thick.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 55 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

  • For the best banana flavor and moisture, use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black.
  • Do not skip the resting time; this allows the moisture to distribute evenly.
  • If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent the loaf with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.
