Print Recipe

A straightforward and delicious one bowl recipe for moist chocolate chip banana bread that requires no mixer and minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remaining.
  3. Add vegetable oil, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine.
  4. Sprinkle the flour, baking soda, and salt evenly over the wet mixture. Fold everything together carefully using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined.
  5. Toss chocolate chips in a teaspoon of flour, then gently stir them into the batter until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top lightly.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. The top should be golden brown and spring back slightly when pressed.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use overripe bananas with black spots for best moisture and sweetness. Toss chocolate chips in flour before folding to prevent sinking. If bread browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Check doneness with toothpick test starting at 55 minutes. For gluten-free, use a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, use dairy-free chocolate chips and oil. Vegan option: replace egg with flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water).
