This easy one-bowl banana chocolate chip bread comes together in about ten minutes of actual work. No mixer, no sifting, and no dirtying every dish in the kitchen—just a moist, tender loaf packed with banana flavor and melty chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 to 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth (a few small lumps are fine).
  3. Add the melted butter and sugar; stir until well combined.
  4. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Sprinkle the flour, baking soda, and salt over the wet mixture. Stir gently just until the flour disappears—do not overmix.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips. Reserve about 2 tablespoons for topping.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top, pressing them in slightly.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If browning too quickly, tent with foil after 40 minutes.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing (about 1 hour).

Notes

For best results, use very ripe bananas with brown spots. Do not overmix the batter once flour is added. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling. The bread tastes even better on day two. To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to 3 months.
