Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing it well or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the melted unsalted butter, then beat in granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream or plain yogurt until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  3. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and optional ground cinnamon, ensuring even distribution of the leavening agents and spices.
  4. Combine: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture. Mix gently just until combined to avoid overworking the batter, which can make the bread tough.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
  7. Cool: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing to maintain its moist texture.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are very ripe for best flavor and sweetness.
  • You can substitute sour cream with plain yogurt if preferred.
  • Do not overmix the batter once dry ingredients are added to keep the bread tender.
  • For a nutty twist, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans with the chocolate chips.
  • Store leftovers wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Freezing slices wrapped in plastic wrap and foil preserves freshness for up to 2 months.
