Print Recipe

A quick and easy one-bowl banana bread recipe with chocolate chips that yields a moist, tender loaf perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 3/4 cups (220 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170 grams) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the loaf pan by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
  3. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth but still a little chunky, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and stir until combined.
  5. Mix in the brown sugar until the mixture looks uniform and glossy.
  6. Beat in the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract.
  7. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, stirring gently just until combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
  10. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  11. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter once flour is added to keep the bread tender. Use very ripe bananas for best flavor and sweetness. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil. Let the bread cool before slicing for best texture. Optional nuts can be added for crunch. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
