Description

A moist and classic banana bread filled with rich chocolate chips—perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a loaf pan thoroughly to ensure the banana bread doesn’t stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, then whisk in the sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is homogenous.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently just until everything is incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter ensuring even distribution without stirring too much.
  6. Pour and Bake: Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the banana 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

  • Use very ripe bananas for best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans for extra texture and flavor.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick to avoid undercooking or overbaking.
  • You can substitute butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free variation.
  • Store leftover bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
