Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (8 Tbsp), softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 3 medium/large bananas (very ripe), about 1 3/4 cups mashed
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips divided, or mini chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat Oven to 350˚F. Butter and flour a bread loaf pan (9.25"L x 5.25"W x 2.75"D)
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar - In a mixing bowl using paddle attachment, cream together 1/2 cup softened butter and 2/3 cup sugar. Add 2 lightly beaten eggs.
  3. Mash bananas with a fork until consistency of chunky applesauce and add them to the mixing bowl along with 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Mix until blended. 
  4. Whisk together dry ingredients in a separate bowl: 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt. Add to the mixing bowl and mix until incorporated. 
  5. Fold in 3/4 cup chocolate chips then transfer to prepared bread pan. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup chocolate over the top and bake at 350˚F for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let banana bread rest 10 min before transferring to a wire rack to cool. 

Notes

  • To Store Chocolate Chip Banana Bread: 
  • Room Temperature - cover and store for up to 2 days 
  • Refrigeration - I don't advise refrigerating since it can dry out the bread but you can refrigerate 3-5 days. 
  • Freeze - wrap in foil and freeze up to 3 months then thaw at room temperature for 3 hours.
