Print Recipe

A simple, quick, and moist banana bread recipe made in one bowl, featuring ripe bananas and melty chocolate chips for a comforting homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (130 g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but with a few small lumps for texture.
  3. Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and stir to combine thoroughly.
  4. Mix in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture looks smooth and slightly glossy.
  5. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until everything is well incorporated.
  6. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the wet ingredients, then gently fold in the flour. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top gently with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil halfway through if the top browns too quickly.
  10. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread tender. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Refrigerate bananas overnight if they brown too fast before baking. Let the bread cool before slicing to avoid crumbling.
