Print Recipe

This quick and easy banana bread uses simple ingredients and comes together in under 15 minutes. Perfect for using up overripe bananas, it delivers a moist, tender crumb with pockets of melted chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large very ripe bananas (about 1 1/2 cups mashed)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus 2 tablespoons for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  3. Add melted butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Pour dry ingredients into wet mixture. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined (a few lumps are fine; do not overmix).
  6. Fold in 3/4 cup chocolate chips, reserving 2 tablespoons for topping.
  7. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top, pressing them in slightly.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes. At 45 minutes, check top; if browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil. Bread is done when a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For best results, use very ripe bananas (brown spots). Do not overmix batter. Let bread cool before slicing for best texture. Store at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
