This easy-to-make Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is moist, fluffy, and loaded with gooey chocolate chips in every bite. A perfect way to use overripe bananas for a comforting treat! ????????
Ingredients (Serves 10-12)
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. - Mash the Bananas:
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher. - Add Wet Ingredients:
Stir in the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. - Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. - Add Sour Cream and Chocolate Chips:
Fold in the sour cream and chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix. - Transfer to Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for a pretty finish. - Bake:
Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are okay). - Cool and Serve:
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
Tips
- For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter.
- Use overripe bananas with brown spots for the sweetest, most flavorful bread.
