Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (Printable Version)

Moist, sweet bread made with ripe bananas and studded with chocolate chips for the perfect homemade treat.

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 180g all-purpose flour, spoon and leveled
02 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
03 - ½ teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 115g unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
05 - 60mL vegetable oil
06 - 150g granulated sugar
07 - 2 large eggs, at room temperature
08 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
09 - 360g mashed ripe bananas (about 3-4 medium)

→ Mix-ins

10 - 170g semi-sweet chocolate chips

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 23x13cm (9x5 inch) loaf pan and line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on sides for easy removal.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the mashed bananas and mix thoroughly.
04 - Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
05 - Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
06 - Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. If the loaf browns too quickly, loosely tent with aluminum foil.
07 - Allow the bread to cool in the pan until slightly warm or room temperature before slicing and serving.

# Notes:

01 - Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
02 - The bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 days when wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
