Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 113 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 150 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Stir in the melted unsalted butter and mix well.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Once baked, remove the loaf pan from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the banana chocolate chip loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
