Equipment

  • 9x5-inch loaf pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Toothpick for testing

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • ⅓ cup melted butter or vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark

Instructions
 

  • Preheat and Prepare the Pan
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients
  • In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined.
  • Add Chocolate Chips
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for sprinkling on top if desired.
  • Bake the Banana Bread
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for a bakery-style look. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  • Cool and Serve
  • Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
