Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1½ cups)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup full‑fat sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all‑purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¾ cup semi‑sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add melted butter, sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
  2. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold gently until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  3. Pour batter into a greased 9‑by‑5‑inch loaf pan. Bake 55–60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Tent loosely with foil if browning too fast.
  4. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

Notes

If you like a slightly crustier top, leave the loaf in the turned‑off oven for an extra 5 minutes after baking, then cool as directed.
