Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour may substitute with whole wheat flour for a denser loaf
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda acts as a leavening agent
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt enhances flavor
  • 0.5 cups Unsalted Butter melted and cooled slightly; can be replaced with plant-based butter
  • 0.25 cups Vegetable Oil keeps the bread tender and moist; coconut oil is a good substitute
  • 0.75 cups Granulated Sugar sweetens the bread
  • 2 large Eggs at room temperature; can use flax eggs for a vegan version
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1.5 cups Mashed Ripe Bananas about 3-4 medium bananas
  • 1 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips can use dark chocolate or dairy-free chips
Optional Add-Ins
  • 0.5 cups Chopped Walnuts or Pecans
  • 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon or Nutmeg for a spiced variation

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan thoroughly and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, then incorporate mashed bananas. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips carefully.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
  7. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
