Buuuuut even though we have an insurance policy courtesy of the bananas, there are a few other pieces that help make this chocolate chip banana bread out of this world level moist.

• spoon and leveling / weight measured flour. Now this is super important in any recipe, but how you measure flour will impact how tender and moist it is. It's easy to overmeasure when using cups, and that can seriously dry out your banana bread. So always make sure to measure either by weight or (if using cups) by using the spoon and level method.

• oil. A mix of butter and oil in the batter yields a rich and flavorful banana bread that stays moist for days.

• mixing. This is one of the easiest batters to whip up and barely needs any mixing. It's important to avoid overmixing the batter once you add in your dry ingredients as it can deflate the air and create an overly dense bread!

To have a deep brown crust (it's one of the tastiest parts imo! But watch out for an overbaked banana bread. The best way to tell if banana bread is baked is with a skewer test. The skewer should have a few moist crumbs on it (and maybe some melted chocolate).

Chunky Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Super Moist!

Yes, I already have a classic banana bread recipe (it was the VERY first recipe I shared on Eats Delightful - I'm tearing up.)

Recipe is adapted from my original recipe. Buuuut I didn't want to just share the same recipe with chocolate chips thrown into the batter. So we've made a few tweaks!

1. We're using melted butter instead of softened butter. I kind of wanted to make this a quicker version - so no waiting around for butter to soften and no creaming together butter and sugar.

2. We're bringing oil into the mix. Because without creaming together butter and sugar, we're going to have less air incorporated. I didn't want to lose that signature banana bread fluff and texture, and oil helps achieve it!

3. This recipe has slightly more sugar. The chocolate chips can bring on some bitterness, so the added sugar balances everything out.

I'm the kind of person who always has ripe bananas when I don't need them and DON'T have them when I do.

2. Bake the bananas at 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange unpeeled bananas (leaving at least 2 inches of space between each one), and bake. Check on the bananas every 15 to 20 minutes. They're ready once the peels turn black and the inside is

3. Microwave. Poke holes alllllll over the bananas, place on a plate, and microwave on high in 30 second intervals or until soft. Check on them after every 30 seconds. Cool completely before using! Microwaved bananas won't develop as much sweetness so you may notice your bread is in need of sugar. Just for that reason, I'd recommend using one of the top 2 options - even if they are a bit more time intensive.

Keep your banana bread stored in an airtight container or a plastic bag. Avoid slicing your bread until you actually want to serve it to help keep in moisture!

To freeze, wrap your unsliced loaf in a layer of plastic wrap followed by a layer of aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. If you've taken some slices out of the loaf, you can still freeze it - but try to keep it whole and avoid freezing it in slices. Freeze for up to 3 months.

If you are wondering if you can use salted butter in this recipe, the answer is yes. You will just want to eliminate the 1/2 teaspoon salt from the recipe.

When making this recipe, you will want to use very ripe bananas. That does not mean that the whole skin needs to be brown, but it needs to be decently speckled with brown dots.

Some recipes suggest that you ripen bananas in your oven, but let me explain why I don’t recommend that. The sweetness of a banana changes as it ripens. The more ripe it is, the sweeter it is. Ripening them by popping them in the oven will get you the correct consistency of banana you are looking for, but it won’t get you the sweetness you want.

A better bet is to let those bananas ripen fully. Then peel them and freeze them. When you are ready to make your banana bread, let them fully thaw, and use them (and any liquid that goes with them) in this recipe.

Transfer the slices to a freezer safe bag and store in the freezer for up to three months. When ready to eat, the slices will take about 30 minutes at room temperature to thaw.
