Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup milk (optional for extra moisture)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth. If you like a bit of texture, leave some small chunks of banana.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Step 4: In the bowl with the mashed bananas, add the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
- Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay). If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover with foil and continue baking.
- Step 8: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
