Banana Bread Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or choice)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking for your banana bread.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in melted butter until well combined, then add vanilla extract and beaten egg. Mix thoroughly for a cohesive wet mixture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
- Add Sugar and Chocolate Chips: Gently mix in sugar according to your preferred sweetness level. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter to distribute the gooey chocolate in every bite.
- Bake the Banana Bread: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake for about 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. This step ensures the bread is fully cooked and moist.
- Cool and Serve: Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for the sweetest and most flavorful bread.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a moist and tender texture.
- Check the bread with a toothpick near the end of baking time to avoid overbaking.
- Try adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
- Store banana bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
