This chocolate chip banana bread is soft, moist, and packed with gooey chocolate chips in every slice. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter and stir until combined.
  3. Whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract, and sugar until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix—stop when no streaks of flour remain.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.)
  9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, slice and enjoy! Warm up a slice and spread a little butter on top for extra flavor.

Notes

[‘Use ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness.’, ‘Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture.’, “If bananas aren’t ripe, microwave them for 30 seconds to soften.”, ‘Check for doneness at the 50-minute mark using a toothpick or skewer.’, ‘Let the bread cool completely before slicing to allow flavors to develop.’]
