Create the best homemade banana bread that is extremely moist, tender, and packed with gooey chocolate chips. This one-bowl recipe uses simple ingredients and ripe bananas for a comforting classic perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large, very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (for extra moisture)
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus 1/4 cup for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas, melted butter, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix until just combined.
  3. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula until you barely see streaks of flour remaining. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top.
  6. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black for the best flavor and moisture.
  • For a bakery-style loaf, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans with the chocolate chips.
  • This bread stays moist for days when stored tightly wrapped at room temperature.
