Description
A warm and moist banana bread studded with chocolate chips, perfect for using overripe bananas.
Ingredients
- 3 medium very ripe bananas (about 1 1/2 cups, mashed)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup sour cream or yogurt
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan; line it with parchment for easy removal.
- Mash the bananas in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, neutral oil, vanilla, and sour cream or yogurt.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined, then gently stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50–60 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

For best results, use very ripe bananas and avoid overmixing. This recipe can be adapted for gluten-free or dairy-free diets.
