Ingredients

  • 2 cups (256 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 5 ripe bananas
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. (use glass or a light colored pan if possible)
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with a hand-held mixer), add the bananas and roughly mash. (There can be chunks, you do not want them pureed) Add the butter, sugars, vanilla, and eggs. Mix until combined.
  • Slowly add the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips by hand. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 55-70 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. A few crumbs are fine, you do not want to see wet batter on the toothpick.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Run a thin knife along the edge of the loaf to loosen and invert onto a cooling rack. Flip the loaf right side up and allow to cool completely before slicing.
