Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe Guide

Moist, fluffy banana bread loaded with sweet chocolate chips. Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert, this easy-to-make bread is a family favorite that’s packed with warm, comforting flavors!

  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
  4. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter and sugar, stirring until combined.
  5. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract.
  6. Combine Dry Ingredients:
  7. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Add Chocolate Chips:
  9. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top for decoration.
  10. Bake the Bread:
  11. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips over the batter.
  12. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few melted chocolate streaks are okay).
  13. Cool and Serve:
  14. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Overripe bananas work best for a naturally sweet and moist bread.
  • Use mini chocolate chips for more even distribution.
  • Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
