Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 medium overripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 7 tablespoons sour milk or buttermilk To make sour milk: add 1 teaspoon vinegar to milk and let sit 5 minutes
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chocolate chips divided

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. You can use an 8x4-inch loaf pan and make 1-2 muffins alongside.
  2. Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer (a hand mixer is okay too).
  3. Add the bananas, eggs, sour milk, salt, and baking soda to a blender. Mix until liquefied. Alternately, mash the bananas with a fork and then stir the eggs, milk, salt, and baking soda into the bananas.
  4. Pour half of the banana mixture into the butter mixture with 1 cup of flour and mix until just combined. Repeat with the rest of the liquid and flour. Do not overmix!
  5. Stir in 1.5 cups chocolate chips.
  6. Pour into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips. Bake approximately 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (test right next to the crack).
  7. Cool at least 10 minutes in the pan before removing and slicing.

Notes

This banana bread is perfect for a quick breakfast, snack, or even dessert. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
