Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper (leave hanging over sides of pan) sprayed with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter or in a stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and bananas into mixing bowl, mix until completely combined.
- Mix in baking soda, flour and salt until combined. Fold in ½ cup chocolate chips with spatula.
- Pour batter into a greased 9'' x 5'' loaf pan. Top with remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour or until the bread tests done. Let cool for about 30 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- Storage: It's best to store leftover Chocolate Chip Banana Bread in an airtight container at room temperature. This keeps it moist and delicious for up to three days. For longer storage, you can freeze slices wrapped in plastic wrap.
- Freezing: If you want to preserve your bread for longer, consider freezing it. Wrap the entire loaf or individual slices in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. It can last for up to three months.
- Pairing: Enjoy your Chocolate Chip Banana Bread with a spread of peanut butter or cream cheese for a delicious twist. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea.
- Variations: Feel free to experiment with your recipe by adding nuts like walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture or even some cinnamon for a warm spice element.
- Checking Doneness: To ensure your bread is done, insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, it’s ready; if it has wet batter, give it more time.
