A simple recipe for moist banana bread packed with chocolate chips, perfect for using up ripe bananas. This recipe includes tips for pan size, baking time, and storage.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Stir the melted butter or oil into the mashed bananas.
  4. Mix in the granulated sugar and beaten egg until well combined.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  10. Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
  11. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a less sweet bread, reduce the granulated sugar to 1/3 cup.
  • You can substitute oil for butter for a slightly different texture.
  • To keep your banana bread moist, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For longer storage, you can freeze banana bread slices or the whole loaf. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
