Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ – 1 ½ cup (345g) over ripe bananas about 4 bananas mashed, be sure to measure the mashed banana
  • ½ cup (118ml) vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups (255g) semi-sweet chocolate chips I like to use regular and mini chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • Mash the bananas in a blender, mixing bowl with mixer or with potato masher. Be sure to actually measure the mashed banana, you want about 1 & 1/3 to 1 & 1/2 cups mashed banana. This might be 3 large bananas or 4-5 small bananas.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the mashed bananas, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Stir to combine with a spatula or mixer on low.
    1 1/3 – 1 1/2 cup (345g) over ripe bananas, ½ cup (118ml) vegetable oil, ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and chocolate chips. Stir together with a spatula or mix on low, just until combined.
    2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, ½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp salt, 1 ½ cups (255g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Spray a loaf pan (either 9×5 or 8.5×4.5) with non-stick cooking spray. Transfer the batter to the pan and spread even with a spatula. Add additional chocolate chips on top if desired.
  • Place in the center of the oven and bake for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes check to see if the bread is browning too much. If so, tent the bread with aluminum foil and bake for 10-20 more minutes. **If you didn’t tent at 45 minutes, check again at 55 minutes, then tent, and bake for 10 additional minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • The total suggested bake time for a 8.5×4.5 inch pan is 55-65 minutes and 9×5 inch pan is 45-60 minutes. Be sure to know what size your pan is.
