Scale
Banana Bread:
- 3 large ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
- 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top, and bake for 55 to 65 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool and serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use extra ripe bananas for sweetness and moisture.
- For added crunch, mix in chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Store wrapped at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze slices for easy snacking.
