Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup (melted) Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix well to combine.
Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spatula or spoon.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the banana bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
