Primary Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (85 g) chocolate chips
Baking Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and lightly coat a 9×5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly mash ripe bananas until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate melted butter, whisked egg, and fragrant vanilla extract into the mashed bananas, blending until uniform.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the banana mixture, stirring with minimal strokes to maintain a tender texture.
- Carefully introduce chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to create an even surface.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center.
- Remove from oven and let the loaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes to stabilize its structure.
- Carefully transfer the loaf to a wire cooling rack, allowing it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Check banana ripeness by ensuring they’re deeply speckled brown for maximum natural sweetness and moisture.
- Use room temperature ingredients to help batter blend smoothly and create consistent texture.
- For gluten-free version, replace wheat flour with almond or coconut flour, adjusting liquid proportions slightly.
- Experiment with dark, milk, or white chocolate chips to customize flavor intensity and sweetness level.
