  • Ingredients:
  • - 1.5 cups all-purpose flour 180g
  • - 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • - ½ teaspoon salt
  • - ½ cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled (113g)
  • - ½ cup granulated sugar 100g
  • - 1 ½ cups light brown sugar 375g
  • - 2 large eggs
  • - 1 ¼ cups mashed bananas about 3 medium bananas

Instructions
 

  • Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing an 8.5 inch x 4.5 inch loaf pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
  • In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. If using sour cream or Greek yogurt, you can alternate adding it in with the dry ingredients or mix it all together at once.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a handful for topping if desired.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • When baking Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, it's helpful to use overripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add nuts for added texture.
  • If you want to make mini loaves, adjust the baking time accordingly—mini loaves typically bake in about 25-30 minutes. Enjoy your homemade banana bread warm, or store it in an airtight container for a few days for a delicious treat anytime!
