Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, sugars, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Transfer half the batter to a separate bowl and stir in the melted chocolate until fully incorporated.
Alternately spoon the plain and chocolate batters into the prepared loaf pan. Swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
