Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 3 cups
- Granulated sugar: 1 cup
- Brown sugar: 1/2 cup, packed
- Baking soda: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Eggs: 2 large
- Mashed ripe bananas: 1 1/2 cups (about 3-4 bananas)
- Melted unsalted butter: 1/2 cup
- Chocolate chips: 1 cup
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, mashed bananas, and melted butter until well combined.
- Step 4: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 5: Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cooled banana bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a warm, gooey treat, microwave a slice for 15-20 seconds.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
- To prevent a soggy loaf, ensure your bananas are very ripe (almost black) for maximum sweetness and moisture, but avoid using bananas that are already fermenting.
