Notes

Here are some tips to help you make the best chocolate chip banana bread:
 
  • Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the better the flavor. Look for bananas with brown spots—they’re perfect for this recipe.
  • Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until everything is combined. Overmixing can make the bread dense.
  • Add More Chocolate Chips: If you love chocolate, sprinkle some extra chips on top of the batter before baking.
  • Line Your Pan: Use parchment paper or grease your loaf pan well to prevent sticking.
  • Test for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean (or with a few moist crumbs), it’s ready!
