Why This Recipe Works

  • Moist and flavorful thanks to overripe bananas

  • Studded with chocolate chips in every bite

  • One-bowl batter makes cleanup easy

  • Freezer-friendly for longer enjoyment


Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed

  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus more for topping)


Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.

3. Add Dry Ingredients

Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.

4. Fold in Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle extra chips on top.

5. Bake

Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just melted chocolate.

6. Cool and Slice

Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.


Chef’s Tips

  • Use bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture.

  • Don’t overmix the batter—it can make the loaf dense.

  • Add chopped walnuts for a nutty twist.


Summary

This Chocolate Chip Banana Bread delivers bakery-quality taste and texture with minimal effort. Sweet bananas and gooey chocolate make it a comforting favorite for any time of day.
