    How To Make Chocolate Chip Banana Bread: 

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
    2. Mash the ripe bananas using a fork.
    3. Mix all of the wet ingredients along with the mashed bananas in a large bowl.
    4. Add all of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Do not overmix the batter.
    5. Fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and top it off with the remaining chocolate chips.
    6. Bake for 58 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    How To Quickly Ripen Bananas: 

    To speed up the ripening process, there are a couple of things you could do.

    • Place the bananas in a paper bag.
    • Add one ripe banana to the rest of the bananas.

     

    Recipe Variations: 

    I’m a huge chocolate chip fan but I also love adding walnuts and m&ms. Feel free to add peanut butter, dried fruit, or chocolate spread as well.

    How Do You Keep Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Moist?

    Place the bread in an airtight container and let it sit at room temperature for up to 1 week.

    Top Tips:

    • Use ripe bananas only. If the bananas aren’t ripe they won’t be as sweet and soft.
    • Do not over mix the batter.
    • Make sure not to overbake the bread.
