Description

This classic Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is a moist and flavorful treat combining ripe bananas and melty chocolate chips in a sweet, buttery loaf. Perfect for breakfast, snack time, or dessert, it offers a delightful balance of sweetness and texture with every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Banana Mixture

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bread.
  2. Mix Banana and Butter: In a large bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas with the melted butter, blending them until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Sugar, Egg, and Vanilla: Stir in the granulated sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract into the banana mixture, mixing well to combine all wet ingredients.
  4. Incorporate Baking Soda and Salt: Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture, then stir gently to distribute these leavening and seasoning elements evenly.
  5. Fold in Flour: Carefully fold in the all-purpose flour into the wet ingredients to create the batter, taking care not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased loaf pan. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for the richest flavor and moisture.
  • Check doneness early to avoid overbaking, as ovens vary.
  • For a nutty twist, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
  • Store leftovers wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate.
