Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Melt the unsalted butter and add it to the mashed bananas. Stir until fully combined.
Mix in the granulated sugar, the beaten egg, and vanilla extract until the ingredients are well combined.
Stir in the baking soda and salt, ensuring they are distributed evenly throughout the mixture.
Add the all-purpose flour and mix gently until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
