- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Wire rack
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas mashed until mostly smooth
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 180 g all purpose flour about one and a half cups, spooned and leveled
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Cooking
- Prep. Preheat to 350 degrees F with the rack in the middle. Grease a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment.
- Mix. Whisk the mashed bananas with sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Fold in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
- Fill. Fold in most of the chips, scrape the batter into the pan, and sprinkle the remaining chips on top.
- Bake. Bake for 60 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if the top browns early.
- Cool. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
Substitutions: Use melted butter in place of the oil for a richer loaf.
Tips: Toss the chips in a spoonful of flour so they stay suspended in the batter.
Storage: Keep wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
