Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf – about 10 slices
  • 3 medium ripe bananas about 1 ¼ cups mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar or honey/maple syrup
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour can swap half with whole wheat
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips plus a few extra for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F. Grease or line a loaf pan (9×5-inch).
  2. Mash bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
  3. Mix in wet ingredients – melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Stir until combined.
  4. Add dry ingredients – sprinkle in baking soda, salt, then flour. Gently fold until just combined (don’t overmix).
  5. Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Pour into loaf pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean (a little melted chocolate is fine).
  8. Cool at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For extra moistness, add 2 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream to the batter.
For crunch, add 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans with the chocolate chips.
Keeps 3–4 days at room temp, or freeze slices for later.
