Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
This Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is a quick and moist loaf made from ripe bananas, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Equipment
- 9x5" Loaf pan
- mixing bowls
- Electric hand or stand mixer
- Wire cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 very ripe bananas mashed (about 1 ½ cups)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and butter together on medium-high speed until fluffy and pale in color, about 3 minutes.
- Mix in the eggs one at a time, stop and scrape down the bowl, then beat in the vanilla extract. Mix in the mashed bananas.
- With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients and mix together until almost combined.
- Reserve a handful of the chocolate chips and stir the rest into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, and sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove and finish cooling on a wire rack.
Notes
Be careful not to overmix the batter! Overmixing can create a dense and tough loaf. Allowing the banana bread to cool before slicing will help the slices hold their shape.
