Follow this simple recipe for moist, flavorful chocolate chip banana bread using overripe bananas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas well. Stir in the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top.
  7. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas (mostly black skin) for the best flavor and moisture.
  • For a bakery-style top, reserve a few chocolate chips to press onto the batter surface before baking.
  • If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent the loaf with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.
