Moistest Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Pin It
YUM!!  Our house favorite!  This is so good, so moist and disappears fast.  Everyone loves it!  We actually look forward to the bananas turning brown just so we can make some of this chocolatey goodness.  This recipe was my Aunty Emmas.  Well it started that way.  We have added and substituted items along the years.  Chocolate for nuts.  Brown for white sugar.  Added sour cream for moistness.  Tinkering in this recipe has actually paid off.  We won't talk about some of my failed attempts with tinkering.  Try it.  You'll love it. 

Recipe Ingredients

1 stick of butter (softened)
1 cup brown sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 mashed brownish bananas
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chocolate chips

  • Grease 1 large bread loaf pan
  • Cream together the Butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla.
  • Add the flour, baking soda and salt
  • Add the mashed bananas and sour cream
  • Add the chocolate chips
Stir to incorporate but don't overdo it.  It will be lumpy due to the bananas.  This is one recipe that I recommend mixing by hand.  Bake it at 350 degrees for 1 hour and test with a toothpick or skewer.  

Try not to eat it all at once.  Hide it from the kids or husband if you need to and make sure you have lots of milk.  Great as a breakfast, snack or dessert.  Also great as mini loaves to give away.  Just bake for a shorter time.  (If my memory serves me it was around 40 min)
