Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 & 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1/4 cup (60mL) vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 & 1/2 cups (360g) mashed ripe bananas (about 34 medium bananas)

Add-ins

  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside to keep the ingredients blended.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Add Bananas: Stir in the mashed ripe bananas into the wet mixture until fully incorporated to add moisture and flavor.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender and moist.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter ensuring even distribution without overworking the batter.
  7. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cover if Browning Too Quickly: If the top of the bread starts to brown too fast, loosely tent it with foil and continue baking to ensure even cooking without burning.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan until slightly warm or at room temperature before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to prevent a dense, tough loaf.
  • Line the pan with parchment for easy removal and clean-up.
  • You can substitute chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruit if preferred.
  • Store leftover bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
