Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 0.33 cup (melted) unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup (packed) light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.67 cup dark or semi-sweet 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.
Stir in the melted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, then stir until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold the chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Enjoy your Simple Banana Chocolate Chip Bread with a cup of coffee or as a satisfying snack!
