Martha’s Banana Bread
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.

- Yield: 1 loaf 1x
Ingredients
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.
