Ingredients
Scale
- 3 overripe bananas, thoroughly mashed
- 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- A dash of salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter, mixing until well blended.
- Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt, stirring to incorporate.
- Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Gradually fold in the flour, being careful not to overwork the batter.
- Gently mix in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Enhance the flavor by adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the mixture.
- For a healthier twist, replace half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
