Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 Cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
  • 3 Pieces Ripe bananas (mashed)
  • ½ Cup Melted butter
  • ¾ Cup Brown sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Add-Ins
  • ¾ Cup Chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp Milk (for extra moisture)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a loaf pan to ensure easy release and even baking.
  2. Whisk dry ingredients together thoroughly to distribute baking soda and spices evenly.
  3. Mash bananas and mix with wet ingredients until smooth to create a moist base.
  4. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture gently to avoid overmixing and maintain softness.
  5. Add chocolate chips evenly for consistent flavor in every slice.
  6. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, ensuring the center is fully cooked.
  7. Cool completely before slicing to maintain structure and prevent crumbling.

Notes

  • Always use ripe bananas because they naturally sweeten the bread and improve moisture without extra sugar.
  • Mix the batter gently to avoid a dense loaf and maintain a soft, tender crumb.
  • Monitor baking time closely since ovens vary, and overbaking can dry out the bread.
  • Allow proper cooling time so the bread sets correctly and slices cleanly.
