Description

A moist and delicious Chocolate Chip Banana Bread made with ripe bananas, melted butter, and sweet semisweet chocolate chips. This classic baked good is perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert, offering a rich banana flavor combined with melty chocolate bits.

Ingredients

Scale

Banana Bread Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4×8-inch loaf pan to ensure the bread does not stick during baking.
  2. Mash bananas and add butter: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas until well combined.
  3. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla: Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract with the banana and butter mixture, ensuring everything is blended well.
  4. Add dry ingredients: Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, then stir in. Add the all-purpose flour and mix just until combined—do not overmix to keep the bread tender.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly without overworking the mix.
  6. Prepare to bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula for even baking.
  7. Bake the bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool the bread: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense loaf.
  • Use a toothpick or cake tester to check for doneness to prevent under or over baking.
  • Store leftover banana bread wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • Optional: add nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
