Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams semi-sweet 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.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stove, and let it cool slightly.
Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix well.
Stir in the granulated sugar, mixing until fully combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, stirring just until the flour disappears.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
