This Chocolate Banana Bread is the perfect balance of chocolate and bananas. A guaranteed favorite!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

  5. Turn the mixer to low and add in flour, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and top with extra chocolate chips if desired.
  8. Bake for 60 minutes, or until center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
