Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 3 bananas mashed
  • ⅓ cup buttermilk
  • 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper. 
  • Mix melted butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl. 
  • Add in egg and mix well. 
  • Add in mashed bananas and buttermilk to the egg mixture and mix using an electric hand mixer or a whisk. 
  • Add in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda and mix with a wooden spoon until combined and no lumps left. Do not over mix. 
  • Fold in ½ cup chocolate chips into the batter. 
  • Pour the chocolate banana bread batter into the loaf pan and top with ½ cup remaining chocolate chips. 
  • Bake in the oven for 45-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with little to no crumbs. 
  • Cool completely before slicing. 

Notes

  1. To make homemade buttermilk, mix ⅓ cup milk with 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice. 
  2. You can use ⅓ cup sour cream or yogurt instead of buttermilk. 
  3. You can use chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips. 
  4. You can use ½ cup vegetable oil or olive oil for baking instead of butter for this simple banana bread recipe.
  5. Use dark chocolate chips to make this into a dark chocolate banana bread.
  6. Make sure the banana bread is baked in the middle. Insert a toothpick in the middle of the bread and if it comes out with a few to no crumbs, the banana bread is done.
  7. Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing it to avoid having too many crumbs.
  8. Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
