A moist and flavorful banana bread made in one bowl with brown butter and chocolate chips, perfect for beginners and busy bakers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (130 grams) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Brown the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown specks form and a nutty aroma develops, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth but still slightly chunky. Add the cooled brown butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until combined.
  4. Sprinkle the flour, baking soda, and salt over the wet ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping if desired.
  6. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes, starting to check at 55 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely before slicing.

Notes

If the top browns too quickly, tent the loaf with foil halfway through baking. Use room-temperature eggs for smoother mixing. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
