Ingredients
Scale
Banana Mixture
- 5 medium over-ripe bananas
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 teaspoons milk
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature by the time your batter is ready.
- Mash Bananas: In a small bowl, add the over-ripe bananas and baking soda and mash them together with a fork until smooth. Set this banana mixture aside for now.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and milk until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix until the batter starts coming together; it will be slightly dry.
- Combine Banana Mixture: Stir the mashed banana and baking soda mixture into the batter until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into a greased or lined bread pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing.
Notes
- Use over-ripe bananas with dark spots for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- If you prefer, replace semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
- For a nutty twist, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Make sure to check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
