Ingredients
  

  • 3.0 medium overripe bananas (mashed)
  • 0.33 cup melted butter
  • 1.0 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.0 large egg (beaten)
  • 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1.0 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.0 pinch salt
  • 1.0 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 0.25 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter, stirring until fully mixed. Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  • Stir in the brown sugar, mixing thoroughly until there are no lumps.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix—small lumps are perfectly fine.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for decoration.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
  • Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice and serve warm for the ultimate gooey experience! Enjoy your delightful Warm & Gooey Chocolate Chip Banana Bread!

Notes

Optional nuts can be added or omitted based on preference.
