Easy Chocolate Chips Banana Bread

I had some leftover ripe bananas, so I thought I should put them to good use! I decided to make chocolate chip banana bread.

I love this recipe because it is moist, simple, and easy to make. It is also loaded with chocolate chips.

Chocolate Chips Banana Bread

This is the best and the only banana bread recipe I will ever need, as it always turns out moist and tasty. This recipe never fails me, and my family absolutely love it!

Here is everything I did to succeed in making this recipe:

First, I used ripe bananas, which is very important because these rip bananas provide a suitable amount of moisture to your bread.

Second, I mixed the batter just until combined because overmixing the batter creates a dense cake.

Finally, I used room-temperature ingredients, which allowed all the ingredients to mix together well.

How to Make Moist Chocolate Chips Banana Bread

First Step - Preparations: Preheat the oven to 180C, 350F and grease a 9-inch loaf pan well with butter or spray with cooking spray then use a fork to mash the bananas then set aside.

Second Step - Making the bread: In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until they become fluffy using an electric mixer. Add eggs one by one then vanilla extract, whisk. Then, add the mashed bananas, whisk.

Pro Tip: Properly cream the butter and sugar. This will give the bread fluffiness and Prevent it from being dense.

Third Step - Sifting the dry ingredients: Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt over the banana mixture, whisk. Stir in the chocolate chips to the batter using a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Fourth Step - Baking: Bake for 55-60 minutes or until fully baked.
Let the bread cool down completely on a wire rack.

Chocolate Chips

You can use dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips since the loaf cake is sweet thanks to the overripe bananas along with the white sugar. However, if you like it extra sweet, you may use milk chocolate.
