  • Cooking Method: Baking
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 60 minutes
  • Cuisine Type: Dessert

Ingredients

  • 2-3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 4×8 inch loaf pan. Seriously, don’t be stingy with the butter!
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter. Try not to eat it yet.
  4. Mix in the baking soda and salt.
  5. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.
  6. Add the flour, and mix just until the batter is smooth.
  7. Fold in those glorious chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let it cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Or, slice immediately if you lack self-control.

Suggestions

  • Alternative Ingredients: Swap regular flour with almond or whole wheat flour for a twist. Use dark chocolate chips or add nuts for an extra crunch.
  • Garnishing Options: Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with melted chocolate, or smear with some peanut butter.
  • Cooking Tips: Make sure bananas are super ripe—like spotted and scary ripe. For extra moistness, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream to the mix.
