This easy one-bowl banana bread with chocolate chips is a soul-soothing, forgiving recipe that uses simple pantry ingredients and comes together in minutes. It’s moist, tender, and packed with melty chocolate chips, perfect for busy days or cozy afternoons.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 medium very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the long sides.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second bursts. Let cool for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add sugar and mashed bananas to the bowl with melted butter. Stir until well combined. Let sit for 2 minutes.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Stir until fully incorporated and batter is smooth and glossy.
  5. Sprinkle flour, baking soda, and salt on top of the wet mixture. Stir gently just until flour disappears; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in ¾ cup chocolate chips. Reserve about 2 tablespoons for topping.
  7. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Spread evenly. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. If browning too fast, tent with foil for last 10 minutes.
  9. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then lift out and cool completely on the rack before slicing.

Notes

Use very ripe (almost black) bananas for best sweetness and moisture. Do not overmix the batter. Let bread cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling. For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, use melted coconut oil or plant-based butter and dairy-free chocolate chips.
