No reviews

Soft, sweet, and tender, this banana bread is made with overripe bananas for rich flavor and a perfectly moist texture.

Ingredients

3 ripe bananas, mashed

½ cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)

¾ cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1½ cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour)

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, mash the bananas and mix in melted butter and eggs until combined.

Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.

Fold in chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use overripe bananas for the best sweetness and texture.

Don’t overmix to avoid a dense loaf.

Optional: Add ½ cup chopped walnuts for extra texture.

Store at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Freeze slices for up to 3 months—thaw and warm to serve.
