Ingredients
Scale
Bread:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Additional chocolate chips for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For added texture, stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- You can use mini chocolate chips for more even distribution.
- To ripen bananas quickly, bake unpeeled bananas at 300°F for 15 minutes.
