Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Stir in the melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
- Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Step 5: Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- To keep your banana bread extra moist, store it tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
- Warm individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to revive that fresh-baked flavor and enhance the chocolate chips.
- Serve a slice of this irresistible banana bread with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
- For an even richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter in the batter.
