A quick and easy homemade banana bread recipe that is moist, tender, and studded with melty chocolate chips. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and lightly dust with flour.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Fold in the mashed bananas and sour cream gently until combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness and moisture. Toss chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour before folding to prevent sinking. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread tender. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent gumminess.
