Deliciously sweet, easy to make, moist chocolate chip banana bread recipe made in one bowl! The BEST banana bread for breakfast or snack.
You know when you buy bananas at the grocery store that you fully intend on eating but somehow you don’t. You buy 5, one for each weekday. And hey, sometimes you actually do eat all 5 that week! For the most part though, let’s be honest, Friday arrives and there they are, all the bananas, sitting on your counter.
If you’re like me, this has happened to you too in the past. You have all these bananas and are saying to yourself “Ugh, I gotta throw these away. AGAIN.”
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter, , room temperature (1/2 cup)
- 1 cup brown sugar, , packed
- 1 large egg
- 3-4 very ripe bananas, , mashed (frozen bananas are BEST; they’re extra sweet)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper, making sure the parchment is hanging over the sides of the loaf pan. This will help you easily remove the loaf after baking. Spray with nonstick spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together for about 2 minutes until smooth. Whisk in the egg then add the mashed bananas and vanilla. Mix, scraping down the sides of the bowl, until well combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined. Careful not to over mix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the mixture into the loaf pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
This recipe makes 1 loaf, about 12 slices, depending on how thick/thin you cut the slices
