Ingredients
1/2 cup of melted butter, cooled (1 stick)
1 cup of brown sugar, (packed tightly in cup)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
1 1/2 cups all-purposed flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2-1 cups of chocolate chips (However much you prefer)
2 medium mashed bananas (very ripe)
Optional: Walnuts
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. I even use parchment paper so it easily comes out of the pan.
- In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter and sugars.
- Add the eggs and vanilla, mix well.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir into the butter mixture until smooth.
- Add in mashed bananas. Combine well.
- Finally, fold in the sour cream and chocolate chips. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
- Make at 350f (175C) for 45-60 minutes, depending on your oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. cool loaf in the pan for 20 minutes before removing from pan.
Notes
- Cooking time will vary. I've been making this for years and the baking time is different with each oven.
- Vanilla paste will add depth but vanilla extract is just fine.
- This bread isn't very sweet. Fell free to add another 1/4-1/2 cup max of sugar if you feel like you need more.
- Make sure to grease your pan very well.
- Instead of loaf pan you can use a bundt pan.
