My Mom has been making this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread for years, and it is THE BEST!
Ingredients:
- bananas
- sugar
- oil
- flour
- egg
- vanilla
- baking powder
- chocolate chips
Recipe Notes & Tips:
- If you want to lighten it up, feel free to omit the oil (or sub in applesauce) and replace the egg with 2 egg whites! We do this all the time, and it turns out great. You can also use whole wheat flour in place of the all purpose flour.
- This bread freezes REALLY well. If you have a ton of bananas and are wanting to make multiple loaves, it’s a great idea to freeze some for later! Wrap the cooled loaf in plastic wrap and then in foil. Let it thaw at room temperature before slicing.
- This recipe is really basic which makes it super easy to change up! I’ve made lots of variations that are all delicious. Surf my bread recipes to check them out.
- You can also easily adapt this recipe for muffins! Just adjust the baking time to 20 minutes.

This recipe is absolutely delicious and extremely easy to make. I made half the quantity and ate almost the entire thing. My husband, who doesn’t have a sweet tooth loved it as well, although he only got a couple of pieces.i am entertaining this weekend and am going to check out some more of your excellent deserts- hope to find some more of your moms recipes.
Thanks for sharing your mom!
Any tips for making muffins instead of a loaf? I think these would be perfect for Christmas gifts, and I’m not up for baking several loaves. 🙂
Just pour the batter into muffin liners and bake for 20 minutes 🙂 We do this often!
I never knew you could make recipes like this without butter! I guess this truly shows how much I still need to learn! Great recipe by the way!
This looks SOSOSO yummy!! It’s very similar to my recipe! I’ve tried making it with applesauce, whole wheat flour, etc. but it’s just not quite the same. YUM!
i made it, and it’s reallly yummy! i’ll recommend it to my friends… thank you 🙂
I made this and we loved it. Definitely my new go to banana bread recipe. Thanks for sharing.
