Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (180 g)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (16 g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder (8 g)
  • 1 tsp baking soda (4 g)
  • 3 medium bananas (~1.5 cups)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla (10 g)
  • 1 tsp salt  (3 g) (1/2 if morton)
  • 1 stick of salted butter (113 g)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (100 g)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (100 g)
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips (170 g) plus additional regular size for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325F. Spray a 9×5" loaf pan with cooking oil (or two smaller loaf pans - the pan should have at least a 1" rim after it is filled)
  • In a bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and baking soda
  • In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth. Add in the eggs, vanilla, and salt. Mix well and set aside
  • In the base of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or with a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, around two minutes. Scrape down the sides and mix again for about 30 seconds
  • Add in the banana mixture and beat until incorporated. Scrape down the sides and mix again for about 30 seconds
  • Pour in the dry ingredients and pulse together until just combined. Mix in the chocolate chips until incorporated
  • Pour batter into the prepared baking pan
  • Bake for 75-90 minutes, or until a tester poked into the center comes out clean (depending on your oven and baking pan it may take longer or shorter, we recommend to start testing after ~1 hour)
    Note: if using multiple smaller pans reduce the bake time
