Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper with an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas well. Whisk in the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, room temperature egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt over the wet ingredients.
  4. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few streaks of flour are okay.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips, reserving a few for the top.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then, lift it out of the pan and let it cool completely on the wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do Not Overmix: This is the most critical tip for a tender crumb. Fold the flour in gently until it's just barely combined.
Room Temperature Ingredients: Using a room temperature egg and sour cream ensures the batter mixes together smoothly and bakes evenly.
Tent with Foil: If the top is browning too quickly, loosely cover the loaf with aluminum foil for the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
