Description
A delicious and moist banana bread recipe that is easy to make with ripe bananas and chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups mashed banana (About 3 very ripe banana)
- ⅓ cup salted butter (melted)
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (properly measured)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips (plus extra for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 9×5-inch metal loaf pan. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk mashed banana and melted butter together until well-combined.
- Whisk in sugars until incorporated.
- Add eggs and vanilla, and whisk until well-combined.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- Add chocolate chips, and whisk until just incorporated.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, and sprinkle with additional chocolate chips, if desired.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. I check the bread around 30 minutes and tent with foil if it is browning too quickly.
- Let cool in pan for a 5-10 minutes.
- Remove bread to wire cooling rack, and let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container to keep it moist.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for a larger batch.
