Print Recipe

This incredibly moist and tender banana bread is made in one bowl with simple pantry staples. It’s the perfect way to use up overripe bananas and delivers a crackly, golden top with pockets of melted chocolate in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 to 3 medium ripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed, or 240g)
  • 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the two long sides.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  3. Add the melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  4. Sprinkle the flour, baking soda, and salt over the wet mixture. Stir gently just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not over-mix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving about 1 tablespoon for topping.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips and turbinado sugar on top.
  7. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil after about 40 minutes.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment sling and cool completely on the rack before slicing.

Notes

For best results, use very ripe bananas with brown spots. Do not over-mix the batter to avoid tough bread. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent a gummy texture. The bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
