Kitchen Tips
- Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the bread soft and tender.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.

What Makes This Dish So Tasty
Step 1
Warm your oven to 325°F (165°C) and greasing a loaf pan so the bread doesn’t stick. In a mixing bowl, cream together the brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer until it’s nice and smooth. Crack in the egg and beat it on medium-high until the mixture looks light and fluffy, which usually takes a minute or two. Mash up the bananas with a fork and add them to the bowl, mixing just until it’s mostly smooth—you don’t have to worry about every little lump.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Slowly fold these dry ingredients into the banana mixture until everything is just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips last, then pour the batter into your prepared pan.
Step 3
Pop the pan in the oven and bake for about an hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. When it’s done, let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. This bread is especially delicious when it’s still a little warm!
