A moist and classic banana bread recipe with chocolate chips that is quick, easy, and perfect for any occasion. This recipe delivers a perfect balance of sweetness and chocolate with a subtle touch of cinnamon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Add melted butter and stir to combine.
  4. Add sugar and eggs to the banana mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips over the surface.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes, starting to check at 60 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use super ripe bananas for maximum sweetness. Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense bread. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Let the bread cool before slicing for best texture. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil. For vegan, replace eggs with flax eggs.
