A cozy, crowd-pleasing banana bread with melty chocolate chips and a moist texture, perfect for breakfast, snacking, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (120g) sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.
  3. Add melted butter, eggs, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until combined.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until no flour streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips carefully to prevent sinking. Optionally toss them in a tablespoon of flour before folding.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, checking at 55 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a crunchy top, sprinkle brown sugar on the batter before baking. Toss chocolate chips in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Use ripe bananas for best moisture. Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough crumb. Tent with foil if top browns too fast. Let bread cool completely before slicing.
