If you’re craving something a little more exciting than plain banana bread, this chocolate chip version is such a treat! I first tried it on a whim when I stumbled across it online, and I knew right away it was a keeper. It’s a simple, delicious way to use up those extra ripe bananas, and there’s just something comforting about biting into those warm, gooey chocolate chips fresh out of the oven.

 

This has quickly become a family favorite in our home, whether it’s served warm with a cup of tea or packed into the kids’ lunchboxes as a sweet snack. Sometimes I even toss in a handful of nuts for an extra crunch, and it never disappoints! If you’re looking for a quick bake that disappears fast, this is definitely one to bookmark.

 

Ingredients

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

    Directions

    This chocolate chip banana bread comes together easily with a few basic steps, turning overripe bananas into a deliciously moist treat packed with chocolate and oats. Follow along, and you’ll have a comforting loaf ready to enjoy with tea or as a quick snack any time of day.

    Step1

    Prepare the bananas: Cut a few of the bananas lengthwise into quarters to use as a topping. Mash the remaining bananas in a bowl until smooth.

    Step2

    Combine the wet ingredients: Add the brown sugar, oil, milk, and eggs to the mashed bananas and stir until everything is well combined.

    Step3

    Mix the dry ingredients: Sift together the flours, salt, cinnamon powder, and baking soda in a separate bowl.

    Step4

    Bring it all together: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then gently fold in three-quarters of the chocolate chips and all the oats.

    Step5

    Fill the pan: Pour the batter into a greased 12-inch baking pan. Arrange the sliced bananas on top and sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips.

    Step6

    Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (gas mark 4) for about 20 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Step7

    Cool and serve: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving or storing.

    Conclusion

    This chocolate chip banana bread is soft, moist, and packed with sweet bites of chocolate and warm oats. Enjoy a slice on its own, pair it with tea or coffee, or dress it up with whipped cream or a drizzle of honey. However you serve it, it’s guaranteed to disappear fast!
