Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, melted butter, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Add the flour and mix gently until you barely see dry streaks remaining. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
- If you do not have melted butter, you can use softened butter, but mix it well with the sugar first.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.
- This bread freezes well. Wrap cooled slices tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
