Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (+ Video!)

Jump to Recipe – Print Recipe

This is that one recipe that keeps your friends and family asking for more, I present to you the best banana bread ever.

This is hands down my favorite thing to bake ever. In comparison to other baked goods the yield-to-ingredient ratio is so high. I love cookies but I get annoyed at how fast you go through butter, whereas for banana bread you only need half a stick. We love efficiency ya feel

When I was able to work at an office & see friends regularly I would bake at least a loaf a week. So efficient to make and it’s also easily customizable. I’ve added a caramel swirl in the middle before–highly recommend. You can also put different toppings, do that stylized half cut banana thing on the top, etc.

If you knew me a year ago you would know I wasn’t a very big baker. But somehow this banana bread sparked some weird baker enthusiast flame in me. Every time I give a piece to a friend or a coworker they ALWAYS want more, which is something that didn’t really happen with a lot of other stuff I made. So I hope this inspires you to enjoy baking a bit more <3

If you’d like to see me bake this, please check out the video below :) Any questions you may have regarding the process could be solved by watching it! Enjoy!

Total Time1 hr 15 mins
Course: Dessert
Keyword: baking, banana, dessert

Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 3~4 medium ripe bananas
  • 150 g dark chocolate chips or as much as your body can handle

Wet Mixture

  • 80 g mascarpone or Greek yogurt (1/3 cup)
  • 56 g butter room temperature (1/2 stick)
  • 180 g brown sugar (bit less than 1 cup)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or almond

Dry Mixture

  • 200 g all purpose flour (around 1.75 cups)
  • 4 g baking soda (1 tsp)
  • 4 g sea salt (1 tsp)

Add ons

  • Ground cinammon to taste
  • Coconut sugar to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a standard loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
  • Whisk dry mixture together and set aside. Mash the bananas until glossy.
  • Mix mascarpone, butter, and brown sugar together* until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time until light and airy, then add vanilla extract.
  • Gently fold in the dry mixture with a silicon spatula, careful not to over mix. Add in the chocolate chips and bananas, along with any additional fillings of your choice (walnuts, pecans, etc.)
  • Pour batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with coconut sugar and cinnamon, and a bit of sea salt. (There is already salt in the mixture so be careful with how much you put)
  • Bake for 55~65 min (mine usually gets done around 55) until the loaf has doubled in size, browned and developed a nice crust. Toothpick should come out clean.
  • Let cool on a wire rack and enjoy.

Notes

* I use an electric hand mixer, however I like to use a silicone spatula to mix the brown sugar in beforehand so it doesn’t fly everywhere since it’s a pretty strong mixer. You can whisk by hand if you don’t have a hand mixer, or use a stand mixer if you have one. I like to use the hand mixer in one hand and in the other hand use the silicone spatula to scrape down the sides as I’m mixing.

If you made this thank you so much, please let me know so I can tell you how much I appreciate you. We’re banana bread bros now, bread pics are always welcome :)
