Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, helping create a tender crumb.
  4. Add eggs and flavorings: Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract followed by the mashed ripe bananas, combining until smooth.
  5. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just blended to ensure the bread stays moist and tender.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips: Fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips carefully to distribute throughout the batter without overmixing.
  7. Pour batter and add topping: Pour the complete batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for a visually appealing and extra chocolaty crust.
  8. Bake the bread: Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully cooked.
  9. Cool and serve: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve once cooled.

Notes

  • Ensure the bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to avoid a dense loaf.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips or nuts if preferred.
  • Store baked banana bread wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick or skewer; if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
