This Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe brings together ripe bananas and melting chocolate chips for a moist, crowd-pleasing loaf that’s perfect any time of day.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream for richness
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter or coconut oil for dairy-free
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar reduce to ¼ cup for a less sweet loaf
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or 1:1 gluten-free baking blend
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon optional—adds warmth
- 1 cup chocolate chips semisweet, dark, or milk chocolate work
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional—toasted lightly for more crunch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mash bananas in a medium bowl, then stir in yogurt, melted butter, sugar, and eggs until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined. Fold in ¾ cup of chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter in the loaf pan, sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top, and bake for 50–60 minutes.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For deeper banana flavor, let the batter rest 10 minutes before baking. Experiment with different mix-ins like nuts or dried fruits for added texture.
