How To Make Banana Bread Recipe
What I love most about this banana bread recipe is that it’s mixed up in just one bowl!
- Start off with some super ripe bananas and then stir in the melted butter. No mixer needed for this one! You can mix the whole thing up with a fork or a sturdy wood spoon.
- Add in the remaining wet ingredients, followed by the dry ingredients.
- Finally, just fold in the mini chocolate chips and pour into a lightly greased loaf pan.
How Long To Bake Banana Bread
You’ll want to bake banana bread at 350 degrees F. for 50 minutes up to an hour. A toothpick inserted into the center of the banana bread should come out clean when it is fully baked.
Try to not over bake the banana bread or it can become dry.
How Do You Keep Banana Bread Moist?
First off, this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe is ultra moist and delicious from the start! If you want to keep banana bread moist, I recommend letting the banana bread cool completely before wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap.
Place the wrapped banana bread in a zip close container to ensure to oxygen can reach it, and then store on the counter for up to 5 days. You can keep it refrigerated for up to 8 days as well.
Can You Freeze Banana Bread?
YES! You can definitely freeze banana bread! I love making banana bread when I have loads of ripe bananas to use up, then store the cooled bread in the freezer (wrap in plastic wrap, and store in a zip close bag), for up to 3 months!
Let the banana bread defrost in the refrigerator before slicing.
Can I Make Banana Bread Into Muffins?
YES! You can definitely switch this recipe from a loaf into individual muffins. The baking time would decrease to about 20 to 22 minutes, or until the muffins are cooked through.

- remove the chocolate chips completely for a basic banana bread
