This is the chocolate chip banana bread recipe that actually works every time. You get a moist, flavorful loaf with a perfect bakery-level texture, turning those overripe bananas into a guaranteed hit.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup 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, mix the mashed bananas and melted butter together.
  3. Stir in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the baking soda and salt. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients.
  5. Gradually mix in the flour until you have a smooth batter. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black for the best moisture and flavor.
  • For extra gooey chocolate, reserve a small handful of chocolate chips and press them onto the top of the batter before baking.
  • If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent the loaf with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.
