  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 10 slices

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla, stirring until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For added flavor, sprinkle some extra chocolate chips on top before baking.
  • Use ripe bananas for the sweetest flavor and best texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container or wrapped tightly for up to 2 days at room temperature.
