A simple, quick, and delicious banana bread recipe made in one bowl with ripe bananas and semi-sweet chocolate chips, perfect for beginners and busy days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remaining.
  3. Add ½ cup melted unsalted butter to the mashed bananas and stir gently to combine.
  4. Mix in ¾ cup granulated sugar and 2 large eggs until the mixture is smooth and slightly glossy.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract thoroughly.
  6. Sprinkle 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon over the wet ingredients. Fold gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  7. Fold in ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly through the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, checking at 55 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix after adding flour to keep the bread tender. Use very ripe bananas for best flavor. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly. Let bread cool completely before slicing. For a golden crust, brush with melted butter after baking.
