Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 very ripe medium bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips divided

Equipment

  • 1 9x5 inch Loaf Pan
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Spatula

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Whisk in the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving a handful for the top.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent it with foil.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

For the best flavor and moisture, use bananas that are heavily speckled or almost black.
Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can lead to a dense, tough bread. Mix only until the flour is just incorporated.
Store the banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
