Print Recipe

The world’s best banana bread. Incredibly flavorful and soft with just the right amount of chocolate chips. Easy enough my 3 year old can make it.

Ingredients

Scale

1 2/3 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2/3 cup chocolate chips

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1/2 cup oil

3 ripe medium bananas, mashed (if really large bananas do 2.5)

2 tablespoons sour cream

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2–3 tablespoons more sugar, for sprinkling on top, if desired.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Place a piece of parchment paper at the bottom of a large bread loaf pan and then spray all the insides with non-stick spray.

 

in a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. stir in the chocolate chips and set aside.

 

In a small bowl, with an electric mixer, mix together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the oil, mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla extract till well combined.

 

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula fold together. Don’t over mix.

 

Pour the batter into the prepared pan (see note) and bake for 45-60 minutes till a few moist crumbs come out when a tooth pick is inserted.

Notes

*If the batter exceeds about 2/3-3/4 of the bread pan then make muffins with the excess.

I place the loaf pans on a rimmed baking sheet for easy in and out of the oven and in case I over-filled the pan.

I think American bread loaf pans are bigger than they are here in Finland so I really don’t think you’ll have to worry about over-filling but I left notes here just in case you need them.
