Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 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
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips (plus more for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Add chocolate chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
  5. Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow to cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For extra texture, you can add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
  • The cake stays moist for several days when stored covered at room temperature or in the fridge.
