Description

Super Moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread – an ultra-soft, flavorful twist on the classic! Made with ripe bananas, chocolate chips, and a hint of vanilla, this easy one-bowl recipe is perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the Bananas – In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth with a few lumps remaining.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients – Add melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until fully combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Mix Everything Together – Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in Sour Cream and Chocolate Chips – Gently stir in sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and chocolate chips.
  7. Bake – Pour the batter into the loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Serve – Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing
