Description

This Banana Chocolate Chip Bread is a moist and flavorful loaf perfect for breakfast or snack time. Made with ripe bananas, rich butter, and melty chocolate chips, this easy-to-make recipe yields two delicious loaves with a soft crumb and sweet chocolate bursts. Ideal for freezing and enjoying later or serving fresh from the oven.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ⅓ tablespoons milk
  • 3 ripened bananas

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Add-ins

  • ½ bag chocolate chips (approximately 6 ounces, adjust to preference)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the banana chocolate chip bread.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the room temperature unsalted butter and sugar. Using a mixer on low speed, blend them together until they are well combined and creamy.
  3. Add Eggs: Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Add Milk and Bananas: Pour in the milk and add the ripened bananas. Mix the batter for about 1 minute. It’s normal for the batter to look a bit lumpy due to the bananas.
  5. Add Flour and Baking Soda: Add the flour and baking soda to the bowl. Mix the ingredients until just blended, being careful not to overmix. Then gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly.
  6. Prepare Pans: Spray two loaf pans with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans and smooth the tops.
  7. Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center of the loaf — it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool: Remove the pans from the oven and allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for 30 to 45 minutes. Once slightly cooled, remove the bread from the pans.
  9. Store or Serve: Serve one loaf fresh and wrap the other tightly in plastic wrap, then in tin foil to freeze for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix once flour is added to avoid dense bread.
  • Baking time may vary depending on the oven; test with a toothpick after 40 minutes.
  • Freezing one loaf extends shelf life and provides a quick snack whenever needed.
  • You can adjust chocolate chip quantity to taste; half a standard bag (about 6 ounces) is recommended.
