I am sure you’ll enjoy this easy banana chocolate chip bread if you enjoy my simple banana bread recipe and banana oatmeal chocolate chip muffins which are the base of this quick bread.

Why you should try this recipe

Today I am using brown sugar and an extra egg in my recipe compared to my original banana bread. Although my simple banana bread is moist enough, today’s recipe is extra moist.

With the addition of chocolate chips, this banana bread goes to another level.

You need only one bowl to make this delicious banana chocolate chip bread.

Ingredients you’ll need

You can find the exact quantities at the bottom of my post, in the recipe card.

Ingredients for banana chocolate chip bread on a white surface.
  • Bananas – I use 3 medium ripe bananas.
  • Butter-I use melted butter for moisture.
  • Milk-I use it for moisture as well.
  • Sugar– I use light brown sugar for extra moisture. If you don’t have brown sugar but have molasses, you can make your homemade brown sugar.
  • Eggs-They create structure. I use 2 eggs for extra moisture.
  • Vanilla-I use pure vanilla extract for flavor.
  • Flour-I use all purpose flour for structure.
  • Baking soda-It works as a leavener.
  • Chocolate chips– I use only ½ cup of mini chocolate chips and sprinkle a little more to the top.

First I place the bananas into a large bowl and mash with a pastry cutter. It makes this process very easy and quick. But many times I use a fork too, so you can use either to mash the bananas.

Then I add in the melted butter, milk and sugar. I whisk until just combined.

Next I mix in the egg and the vanilla extract.

I add in the flour and sprinkle baking soda over the flour. Then I gently stir these 2 ingredients slightly with a spoon before combining them with other ingredients.

If you make my recipes for a while you know that I always combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and then combine with other ingredients. I simply make this in this one bowl by combining with a spoon as much as I can.

First I use my whisk to combine all ingredients and then use a spoon/spatula.

Finally I fold the mini chocolate chips with a spoon/spatula.

I pour the batter into the parchment paper-lined loaf pan and add 1 extra tablespoon of chocolate chips on top.

Then I bake for almost 45 minutes until the toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

After I remove it from the oven, I let it stay in the pan for 10 minutes before placing it on a wire rack.

I slice the bread with a serrated knife when it completely cools.

How to store

Once cooled, you can keep this banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days and in the fridge for up to a week.
If you want to freeze, you can cover cooled bread with a plastic film first and then with aluminum foil.  You can keep it in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Ingredients

  • 60 grams (¼ cup) milk, room temperature

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F(177°C).  Grease 8 ½ * 4 ½ inch (21,5*10,5cm) loaf pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, about 2 inches(5 cm) of overhang on each side.  If you like, you can grease and flour the pan instead of parchment paper. 
  • Place the bananas into a large bowl and mash with a fork.
  • Add in the melted butter, milk and sugar. Whisk until just combined.
  • Mix in the egg and the vanilla extract.
  • Add in the flour, baking soda and salt (if using). Stir these 2 ingredients slightly with a spoon before combining with all ingredients. Fold the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into the parchment paper lined loaf pan and add the extra chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake for almost 45 minutes until the toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Once you remove it from the oven, let it stay in the pan for 10 minutes before placing it on a wire rack. Slice the bread when it completely cools.

Notes

*I  always halfway melt the butter in a small pan and then remove it from the heat and stir. This way the butter cools fast.
**If you don’t have brown sugar but have molasses, you can make your homemade brown sugar.
