Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 0.25 cups vegetable oil
  • 0.75 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3-4 medium bananas) Use very ripe bananas for best results.
Add-ins
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Feel free to use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated.
  5. Gently stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  2. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. If browning too quickly, tent the top loosely with foil and continue baking.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Let the bread cool in the pan until slightly warm or at room temperature before slicing.
  2. Serve warm or at room temperature with butter or cream cheese, or ice cream on top for dessert.

Notes

To store, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil and keep at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, refrigerate for about a week or freeze for up to three months.
