Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Tender, moist, and loaded with chocolate chips, this easy Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe is one that always gets rave reviews!
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter (softened)
- 1 1/4 cups white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 4 large very ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour (or white whole wheat)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease two loaf pans that are approximately 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches in size.
- Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add the eggs and mix well. Add sour cream, mashed bananas, vanilla and stir to combine.
- Add the flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips but do not over mixed.
- Divide the batter evenly between prepared loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Transfer bread in loaf pans to a wire rack to cool. Cool or at least 20 minutes in pan before removing from pan.*
Notes
- If using smaller bananas, 5 are recommended.
- The more ripe your bananas are, the better the bread will be!
- *I like to store my bread in the pan I bake it in. We slice as we need some, and keep covered with cling wrap. This helps keep the bread moist and fresh.
