This is an easy, one-bowl recipe for making very moist chocolate chip banana bread using overripe bananas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Stir the melted butter and brown sugar into the mashed bananas until combined.
  4. Mix in the beaten egg and vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the baking soda and salt. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients and stir briefly.
  6. Add the flour to the wet ingredients. Mix only until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the moistest bread, use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black.
  • If the top starts browning too quickly during baking, loosely tent the loaf with aluminum foil for the remaining cook time.
  • You can substitute half of the chocolate chips with chopped walnuts or pecans if desired.
