Warm Banana Chocolate Chip Bread Recipe

Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.

Mash the Bananas

In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Set aside.

Cream Butter and Sugar

In a separate large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Mix the mashed bananas into the butter mixture. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Pour into Loaf Pan

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake the Bread

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool the Bread

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve with Ice Cream

Slice the warm banana chocolate chip bread and serve it with scoops of vanilla bean ice cream on the side.
