Description
Indulge in this delightful banana bread filled with melting chocolate chips and rich banana flavor, perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3–4 medium bananas)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar until combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until well-incorporated.
- Stir in the mashed bananas until fully blended.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Add the chocolate chips, reserving a handful for topping if desired.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the bread cool slightly in the pan, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Use ripe bananas with brown spots for the best sweetness. Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
