This chocolate chipbanana bread is full of chocolate chips, flavorful, sweet, and super moist. In other words, it's the best from-scratch banana bread recipe you will ever find! The best thing to go with your morning cup of coffee or tea, made in one bowl.
I like a slice of banana bread to snack on throughout the day, pop into Greyson's school lunch box, eat it with breakfast sometimes, grab a slice for a midnight snack. I mean, who doesn't love banana bread? It's so sweet, easy to make, and just really tasty!
Emphasis on the moist, even though a ton of people hate that word. But how else do you describe something so good? It's so soft and delicious that it just seems wrong to even call it bread.
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread!
And just like my famous pumpkin bread, where my husband's coworkers would snatch up whole loaves for themselves, this banana bread is known to disappear just as quickly!
So don't throw out those super brown bananas, you're about to make the most heavenly banana bread ever, in just one bowl with one spatula/wooden spoon.
Making banana bread is much easier than most people would believe. It's all done in one bowl with really simple ingredients, and the results are perfect loaves every time. Here are some tips on ensuring you make phenomenal banana bread:
The Best Banana Bread (+video)
To ensure you have seriously moist banana bread, you need really overripe bananas. The ones that the kids look at and won't eat because they're not super yellow anymore (*cue eye roll*) but you know they're still edible and you don't want to waste them? Use those. They're super sweet and add a ton of moisture to anything you add them to, so they're perfect for banana bread.
Pro tip: if you end up only having 2 bananas to use, replace the missing banana with applesauce! Applesauce will not only give the moisture and sweetness in lieu of the missing banana but can be used in place of some of the butter too if you are low on butter!
For this recipe, all you need is one bowl, a hand mixer or whisk, and a wooden spoon or a spatula. Three tools that everyone has in the kitchen, right? The hand mixer is needed to cream the butter and brown sugar together.

Creaming the butter and sugar together makes the crumb of the banana bread light and fluffy, so you won't have to worry about it being dense and heavy. The brown sugar also adds a deeper flavor than granulated sugar, since it has molasses in it, makes the bread softer, and it adds more moisture. We want this banana bread deeply moisturized, y'all.
After that, you need a 9x5 loaf pan to bake in. I don't suggest a glass or dark metal pan, because they tend to make the sugars caramelize faster in the oven and that can cause them to burn while the bread bakes. I really like light metal or oven-safe ceramic loaf pans for this reason.
To make the bread: Cream the butter and sugar well, for about three to five minutes, then mash the bananas (you can make them as smooth or as chunky as you like), add those and the egg in, then mix in the dry ingredients well. Simple, right?

Then the best part: the chocolate chips. I used mini chocolate chips because they disperse so well and you get perfect little bits of chocolate literally all around the banana bread.
I went a little crazy with the chocolate chips in the recipe, there's over an entire cup with a nice handful that goes on top of the batter before baking. If you're not as much of a chocolate lover as I am, you can use maybe ¾ cup of chocolate chips.
Bake for just under an hour, I did 55 minutes. It's hard to do the toothpick/cake tester trick since the chocolate and chunkier bits of banana are ingredients that will stay wet but as long as there is no wet batter and crumbs on your tester, it's ready to pull from the oven.

Banana bread, using super ripe/overripe bananas, is a really moist baked good. Keeping it out on the counter can cause it to grow mold, so the best way to keep it is wrapped well with plastic wrap or foil and keeping it in the fridge. In fact, it'll get even better each day. Store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Banana bread freezes fantastically! Once the banana bread has cooled completely, wrap the loaf in plastic wrap well and in a layer of foil. It keeps in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread
The “secret” to getting moist chocolate chip banana bread is really just a couple simple ingredients. The main two being melted butter and Greek yogurt.
Using melted butter, as opposed to room temperature, helps to soaks up all the flour which gives you that smooth texture. The Greek yogurt adds even MORE moisture while still providing structure. It’s my secret ingredient in so many of my dessert recipes.
Another reason why Greek yogurt works so well here is because its flavor. Greek yogurt is slightly sour which helps to balance out the sweetness of the bananas, chocolate, and sugar.

It’s also very thick and contains less water than regular yogurt. This is the reason why I love baking with it so much, it provides tons of moisture without thinning the batter too much.
