How to make this easy chocolate chip banana bread?

This recipe calls for no appliances except the oven. All you need to have a is a bowl large enough for you to mash and mix all the ingredients together well. To make this banana bread, you need ripe bananas, the browner they are, the better is the flavor.

  • Before you start prepping the ingredients, pre-heat the oven at 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9x5 loaf pan or you can line a parchment paper inside the pan.
  • Now is the time to mix to all the ingredients of this best banana bread recipe.
  • Take a large bowl, peel the bananas and mash them well without any lumps. If you like little lumps in your banana bread then you can mash the bananas coarsely.
  • Then mix the butter with the mashed bananas well.
  • Then add sugar, yogurt, vanilla with the banana and butter mixture. Sprinkle the baking soda and a pinch of salt and mix all the ingredients together.

Tips to make a loaf of delicious banana bread:

If you want to make this homemade banana bread more delicious, try these tips:

  • Use ripe spotted bananas for making this recipe. If your bananas are just getting brown leave them for an extra day.
  • It is best to have all the ingredients be at room temperature before you start mixing.
  • You can mash the bananas well if you want a smooth and moist banana bread or you can leave them a bit chunky too.
  • I generally use granulated sugar to make this banana bread recipe, but brown sugar works well too.
  • Melted butter works much better for this banana bread as this a one-bowl recipe and does not use a mixer.
  • Once you have added the dry ingredients, do not mix too much. Just fold in the flour gently.
  • I have used semi-sweet mini chocolate chips for this banana bread recipe, but you can use normal sized chocolate chips as well.
  • To keep your banana bread moist, wrap it in a plastic wrap and store it your kitchen counter or refrigerator.

How to store Banana Bread?

The best way is to keep Banana bread you are going to enjoy in 2-3 days  is on the kitchen counter. Once the banana bread is cooled, cover it with a plastic cling wrap or in an airtight container.

Can you store your banana bread in the freezer?

Yes, you can store the banana bread in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can store the whole loaf or cut it in slices. Just wrap the banana bread in plastic wrap or freeze wrap, then put in a ziplock bag and store it in the freezer. Take it out of the freezer and let it come to room temperature and then enjoy a delicious slice. You can also warm it in the microwave for 10 seconds to get the fresh out of the oven taste!

Hope you enjoy this delicious Banana Bread with chocolate chips!

    Wondering if it would work with whole wheat, almond, coconut or a flour mix? If someone tries that, would you please let me know. Thanks!

        Raising hand.....I use 1/3 cup Stevia Leaf Extract (a powder) and 1/3 cup Greek yogurt to make up the volume. It works really well for me. Thank you for all of your hard work, I really love your recipes. Take care...

      Hi Anusha - I have not tried, but using 1/4 cup applesauce in place of an egg or Vinegar & baking soda (1 tsp baking soda mixed with 1 tbsp vinegar replaces 1 egg) are popular to substitute eggs in such bread recipes. Hope you give it a try!

    Can use Walnuts instead chocolate chips? If I can , then sugar quantity remain the same if not using chocolate chips?

      Hi Bhavana - Sure, you can use walnuts in this recipe. If not using chocolate chips, you can increase sugar to 3/4 cup. If you like lightly sweetened banana bread, 2/3 cup would work fine too. Hope you enjoy it!
