Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick / 115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- ¼ cup (60mL) vegetable oil
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (360g) mashed ripe bananas (about 3–4 medium bananas)
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, allowing extra paper to hang over the edges for easy removal. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the mashed bananas until fully combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips to the wet mixture. Gently fold together until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the center of your preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (it’s fine if there’s some melted chocolate on the skewer). If the bread is browning too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil and continue baking until done.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing it and placing it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and moisture.
- You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier version.
- For extra flavor, try adding a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans.
- This banana bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for longer freshness.
