Don't throw out your overripe bananas! Make this super moist and absolutely delicious Chocolate Chip Banana Bread! This recipe uses simple ingredients like mashed bananas, cinnamon, and chocolate chips to create a flavorful, tender loaf. It's already egg free and can easily be made dairy-free with the swap of a few ingredients. We are taking banana bread to another level by adding chocolate chips because who doesn't want little pockets of melted chocolate in their banana cake?
Preheat the oven to 350 f (175C)
Lightly grease an 8-inch (20cm) or 9-inch (22 cm) loaf pan and line it with an overhang of baking paper.
Combine milk and vinegar in a bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes until slightly curdled.
Add sugar and oil. Mix with a hand whisk until sugar is dissolved.
Add mashed banana and mix until combined.
Add all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon) into liquid ingredients, mix until fully combined and the batter is smooth.
Add chocolate chips and mix.
Pour the batter into the pan and score the batter by running a small knife about 1/4 inch deep in the batter from one end of the pan to the other end. This will encourage the batter to cook and rise more evenly.
Bake for 40 - 45 min or longer if needed. Test the middle of the banana bread with a skewer. It should come out clean with a little crumb.
Let it cool in the loaf pan for 30 min and then carefully remove the loaf and allow it to cool on a cooling rack.
Portion into thick slices and enjoy!
