A simple, quick, and moist banana bread made in one bowl with browned butter and chocolate chips for a rich, nutty flavor and gooey chocolate pockets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, browned
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Melt 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until milk solids brown and butter smells nutty. Remove from heat and pour into a large mixing bowl. Let cool about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar to the browned butter and whisk until combined. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 3 ripe mashed bananas (about 1 1/2 cups) until mixture is glossy and smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients using a wooden spoon or spatula. Stir just until combined; some lumps are okay.
  6. Gently fold in 3/4 cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Grease a 9×5 inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. Pour batter into pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55-65 minutes. Start checking at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs, it is done.
  9. Remove from oven and let sit in pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not skip browning the butter for best flavor. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread tender. Start checking doneness at 50 minutes to prevent overbaking. Tent with foil if browning too quickly. For a shinier crust, brush with melted butter after baking.
