A simple recipe for moist banana bread loaded with melted chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (170g) 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, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the baking soda and salt with the flour.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable. Overmixing develops gluten and makes the bread tough.
  5. Fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top.
  7. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or black for the best flavor and moisture.
  • For extra moistness, substitute 1/4 cup of the sugar with packed light brown sugar.
  • If the top browns too quickly during baking, loosely cover the loaf with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes.
