Ingredients
  

Banana Bread
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (8 Tbsp)
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 3/4 cups very ripe bananas, mashed about 3 medium/large bananas
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided or mini chocolate chips or chunks

Equipment

  • Bread loaf pan (9.25"L x 5.25"W x 2.75"D)
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350˚F. Butter and flour a bread loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl using the paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter and sugar.
  3. Add the lightly beaten eggs. Mix until combined.
  4. Mash the bananas with a fork until they resemble chunky applesauce. Add the mashed bananas and the vanilla extract to the mixing bowl. Mix until blended.
  5. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and mix until incorporated.
  6. Fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips. Transfer the batter to the prepared bread pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate over the top.
  7. Bake at 350˚F for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the banana bread rest for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

To store the banana bread at room temperature, cover it and keep it for up to 2 days. You can refrigerate it for 3 to 5 days, but refrigeration may dry out the bread. To freeze, wrap the bread in foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for 3 hours before serving.
