Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Serving Size 8 slices

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl medium sized
  • 1 Stand mixer or a second mixing bowl
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 Spatula
  • Baking spray
  • 9 x 5 inch bread pan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¾ tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups overripe bananas approx 4-5 bananas
  • 1 egg at room temperature
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1 ¼ cups mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, and cinnamon together until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Set the dry mixture aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a separate mixing bowl), mash the bananas with a fork until there are very few clumps left. (A few clumps is ok). Add the egg, vanilla extract, sour cream, and milk and mix on medium speed in a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer) until all ingredients are combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the stand mixer and mix until all ingredients are just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly dispersed.
  • Line the inside of a 9 x 5 inch baking pan with a baking spray. Pour the batter into the greased baking pan. Place the pan in the oven and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55 minutes to 1 hour. You will know that the banana bread is finished when you can poke a butter knife or toothpick into the center and it comes out clean. Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing.
