Servings: 10 slices
Calories: 279kcal
Ingredients
- butter for greasing the loaf pan
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup oil canola or vegetable oil is best
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard (9-inch by 5-inch) loaf pan with butter, lining it with parchment paper if desired.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until no large pieces remain.
- Add the sugar, egg and oil and mix with a wooden spoon until everything is incorporated.
- Measure the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a separate mixing bowl and stir them together with a fork. Once they’re mixed together, dump the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
- Using a wooden spoon, carefully mix the wet and the dry ingredients together. The danger here is over-mixing which will result in a dense, flat and dry loaf. The best technique for mixing is to scoop underneath the mixture and pull up gently instead of stirring around in a circle (like you’d stir your coffee, for example). Continue mixing this way just until the dry ingredients have been incorporated. It’s fine if there are a few small streaks of flour in the batter; it’s the large pockets of flour you want to make sure are incorporated.
- Add the chocolate chips and stir them in gently, just until incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin, smoothing it out on top.
- Bake the loaf in the oven at 325 degrees for about 45-55 minutes (depending on your oven), or until it's golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Let it cool in the loaf pan for about 10 minutes and then lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper (or turn it out gently if you didn't use the parchment paper) to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Slice and enjoy!

This is the BEST banana bread recipe EVER! It’s my go-to as a thank-you gift for friends. I’ve made it multiple times now, and every time I make it I get rave reviews. Just delicious! Thank you, Chrissie!
Kate says
Great banana bread but trying to find it past all the adds on my
Mobile was hard.
Chrissie says
Thanks for your comment. Since running this site costs money and I provide my recipes for free, having ads on my site is unavoidable. 🙂
Rowan says
It was AMAZING I’m 11 and I was able to make it it’s easy I only had one problem,it over followed a bit but it was overall awesome and it tasted great too
The Busy Baker says

Kathy Sklavenitis says
Mine overflowed so much.. a lot of it ended up on the bottom of my oven. Not pleasant.
Chrissie says
What size of loaf pan did you use? It sounds like your loaf pan was too small.
The Busy Baker says
So glad you liked it as much as we do! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! 🙂
E J says
Good banana bread but way too sweet. 1 cup chocolate chips bananas and 3/4 cup sugar not necessary. Next time I’ll add only 1/2 cup sugar or less.
Jade says
Oh my, this looks amazing!

Holy bananas!!!
This is indeed the best CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA Bread! I just made for my family and came out just perfect 👌 it was a real tentation for me as I do keto, however, my family enjoyed very much.
Al measurements and steps are easy and right, you can’t mess this one, it will work 💯 %.
Thanks for the recipe! 😊 🤗 😘
Chrissie says
So glad you loved it!! 🙂
SunSun says
Made this with my daughters and it’s perfect! I reduced the sugar to 1/3 cup and it tasted just as good.
Chrissie says
Glad you all loved it! 🙂
Nikki says
This recipe is amazing. Although I did add a few things, such as coconut milk to moisten it and cinnamon and vanilla extract for a bit of added flavour. I also cut back on the sugar and did half while/half brown as a bit of a healthier alternative. Very delicious!
Chrissie says
So glad you loved it!
Savi says
I made this today and it’s perfect!! I did not use baking soda and added vanilla extract. Thank you for sharing your recipe. My daughter enjoyed it. 🙂
The Busy Baker says

Candace says
Ok, I can screw up any recipe and I usually do, but I love to bake so I do what I love. However, my kids did not believe I even made this banana bread because it turned out exactly how it looked in your picture! Thanks! This one is a keeper!
The Busy Baker says
You’re welcome! So glad you enjoyed this recipe! 🙂
Jessica says
Could I substitute olive oil for the veg? Can’t wait to try this!
Chrissie says
Yes definitely. It will change the flavour slightly, but it will work. 🙂
Ashley says
This banana bread is absolute PERFECTION! I can’t believe how easy this was and the results… they are to die for. Everyone try this out!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe 😍
The Busy Baker says
Thank you Ashley! So glad you like it so much❤️!
Bernadette Bogden says
It looks delicious! To you think you can make it without the chocolate chips and use a sugar free sweetener Duck as monk fruit? My husband has to limit his sugar. Thank you
Chrissie says
I’ve never used monk fruit sweetener, so I can’t comment. However, any sugar substitute that acts like sugar in a recipe can be used.
Afnan says
I may or may not have made this delicious piece of indulgence about 20 times this year. For breakfast, for cravings, for guests, for kids – it truly is the perfect recipe for banana bread! Along with the chocolate chips, I also add a handful of chopped walnuts for a bit of a crunch.
The Busy Baker says
Yes! I know, it’s so delicious!!🙂
Charina says

The Busy Baker says
Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
