Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 medium bananas)
• ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (optional, for extra moisture)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Add the mashed bananas and sour cream (if using), mixing until just combined.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
7. Fold in the chocolate chips.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. You can sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
9. Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
10. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
