Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark), plus extra for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth and stir in melted butter.
  3. Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gently fold dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined. Don’t overmix.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips, reserving some for topping.
  7. Pour batter into the pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with reserved chocolate chips.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  9. If browning too quickly, tent with foil after 40 minutes.
  10. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Substitute half the chocolate chips with chopped nuts for crunch.
  • Use brown sugar for a richer, caramel flavor.
  • Add cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice for a warm twist.
  • Replace half the butter with Greek yogurt or applesauce for a lighter version.
  • Freeze slices individually for easy snacking later.
