Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter. Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
  4. Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring an even distribution throughout.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center— it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps the bread set properly and prevents it from becoming soggy.

Notes

  • You can use mini chocolate chips or a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips for variety.
  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture and flavor.
  • Wrap leftovers tightly and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze for longer storage to maintain freshness.
