This is the best chocolate chip banana bread recipe you will use. It results in an incredibly moist, tender loaf loaded with chocolate chips, perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 very ripe, mashed bananas (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus extra for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the mashed bananas and sour cream (or yogurt) to the butter mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed only until the flour streaks disappear. Stop mixing immediately.
  7. Gently fold in the 1 cup of chocolate chips using a spatula.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top, if desired.
  9. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black for the best banana flavor and moisture.
  • For an extra rich flavor, substitute the butter with browned butter.
  • This bread freezes well once completely cooled. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
