how to make chocolate chip banana bread-
So, this banana bread is so wonderful to make and it’s super easy. It’s like a classic banana bread recipe but loaded with chocolate chip morsels, so AMAZINGLY delicious. The secret to moist and soft banana bread is definitely the addition of sour cream.
- BANANAS- Mash the bananas. TIP: You want the bananas to be mushy and ripe. They become sweeter and add more flavor to the bread.
- DRY INGREDIENTS- In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and powder, and cinnamon.
- WET INGREDIENTS- In a bowl, with a mixer, cream together the eggs and sugar. Add in the bananas, sour cream, oil and vanillas. Mix by hand (produces best results).
- CHOCOLATE CHIPS– Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently mix until flour is well incorporated. Add the chocolate chips and mix to combine (reserving some for the top).
NOTE: We don’t add too much sugar to the bread since there are chocolate chips, if you like really sweet bread, add a few more tablespoons of sugar to the mixture.
- BAKE- Transfer mixture to a bread pan. Add reserved morsels on top. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the bread.
- COOL- Once the bread is baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool a bit before removing from the bread pan.
TIP: Line your bread pan with parchment paper so it’s easier to remove the loaf once it’s baked.
[The baking time may slightly vary depending on the loaf pan you used and your oven. Be careful not to overbake the bread.]
what kind of chocolate should I use?
You can use your favorite chocolate chips in this banana bread. If you don’t have chocolate chips, you can even just finely chop up a bar of milk or dark chocolate.
can you freeze banana bread?
Yes, this banana bread freezes great. To FREEZE, wrap banana bread tightly with plastic freezer wrap and place in a freezer bag. You can even wrap individual slices and reheat slices at a time and not the whole loaf.
I love that this recipe uses ingredients you already most likely have in your pantry. Kids love helping make the banana bread, mashing the bananas and loading it with chocolate chips – it’s a great recipe to make together. 🙂
