Equipment

loaf pan

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups mashed banana (use 2 very large)
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup sour cream or yogurt
½ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup semi sweet chocolate chips plus more for topping

Instructions

Prep. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and spray the bottom and sides of a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or brush with melted butter.
Mix dry ingredients. Whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
Mix wet ingredients. Into another larger bowl, add 1 ¼ cups mashed banana, 2 eggs, 1 cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup sour cream, ½ cup oil and 1 teaspoon vanilla, and whisk until very smooth.
👉 Mash 2 large, ripe bananas until very smooth, then measure out 1¼ cups for the recipe. Measuring the mashed bananas ensures the right amount of moisture and gives you the best texture.
Finish batter. Add the dry ingredients and ¾ cup chocolate chips. Stir until combined. Transfer batter into the prepared pan, smooth top, and sprinkle some more chocolate chips on top.
Bake. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes clean. Place the pan on a wire rack and cool completely.

Notes

Banana – Use over ripe bananas (dark yellow skin with lots of brown spots).

Vegetable oil – Use a flavorless oil like vegetable or corn oil.
