Ingredients
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup sugar
½ cup unsalted butter
2 large eggs
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, beat the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and mashed bananas.
-
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just combined.
-
Fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and top with remaining chocolate chips.
-
Bake for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- For added texture, include chopped nuts or a sprinkle of oats on top.
- Toss chocolate chips in a little flour to prevent them from sinking.
- Store in an airtight container at room temp (3 days) or fridge (5 days).
- Freeze slices or the whole loaf for up to 2 months.
