📝 Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  1. Set the temperature:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Batter:

  1. Mash the bananas:
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
  1. Add wet ingredients:
  • Stir in the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

3. Combine the Dry Ingredients:

  1. Mix dry ingredients:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  1. Incorporate dry into wet:
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

4. Add the Sour Cream and Chocolate Chips:

  1. Stir in sour cream or yogurt:
  • Fold in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) to make the bread extra moist.
  1. Add the chocolate chips:
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

5. Bake:

  1. Transfer to the loaf pan:
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
  1. Bake in the oven:
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (except for melted chocolate!).

6. Cool and Serve:

  1. Let it cool:
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  1. Slice and enjoy:
  • Once cooled, slice the Banana Chocolate Chip Bread and serve with a pat of butter or simply on its own!

🍽️ Tips:

  • Add-ins: You can add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
