If you have overripe bananas, you must make this easy chocolate chip studded banana bread recipe! It comes together in a flash and is so moist and tender!
INGREDIENTS
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour (210g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup sugar (150g)
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature (113g)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla (5ml)
- 3 very ripe bananas mashed (1 1/2 cups)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (180g)
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Grease a 9×5-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. (I like to mash the bananas with a fork so they are still a bit chunky.)
- 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.
