I guarantee that at some point within the last month, you've had overripe bananas in your kitchen. I am guilty of this every single week. We buy so many bananas because we eat them regularly, and my son LOVES them. Sometimes, however, I buy way too many, almost intentionally to let them get overripe so that I have an excuse to make banana bread. Let's be real, the last two years have brought banana bread to infinite glory, but it's always been a huge favorite of mine. Banana bread just tastes really, really good. Fluffy, moist, and in this case, packed with chocolate chips. This chocolate chip banana bread recipe is a staple in any baker's arsenal, so get ready for a treat.
Banana bread is speculated to have originated in the 18th century, but made its infamous return in the 60s. It gained immense popularity due to the ease of the recipe, and to this day, is beloved by many. The best thing about making banana bread is that it is the perfect base for other recipes, and other ingredients and mix-ins. Want to throw in walnuts? Go for it. Add a little honey? Sure thing! Care to make it gluten free or paleo-friendly? DONE. I can promise you that this will be your tried and true recipe, the recipe that make friends say "OMG YOU BROUGHT THE BANANA BREAD?!" at brunches or friend gatherings
This recipe calls for the staple ingredients, but you can swap out the sugar, flour, milk for alternatives however you see fit. I've tested this recipe with coconut sugar, GF flour, and almond milk and it tastes absolutely delicious either way!
This is one easy banana bread recipe and I know you'll love making it as much as I do. Now, you'll always have an excuse to use those overripe bananas every time!
This is a classic banana bread that will never disappoint. This fluffy, moist banana bread is the perfect recipe for all those bananas you "forgot" about in your kitchen. I promise it won't last very long, it's that good.
