One Bowl Chocolate Chip Banana Bread – The absolute best, super moist banana bread recipe that is easy to make in just one bowl! This banana bread is full of chocolate chips for even more decadence!
Just a quick note! This recipe was originally published in January 2017 and we’ve updated it just a tad to add a video. The chocolate chip banana bread stays the same! 🙂
Banana bread is something that I crave regularly, all year round. I look forward to cooler temperatures being upon us so that I actually feel like warming up my oven to make some!
Fall and winter are my favorite food seasons for sure. As you know, I love quick and simple dinners, but there’s also nothing I’d rather do than spend a weekend hunkered down in my kitchen baking away!
Actually, when I first started this blog about a year and a half ago, it was going to be pretty much baking recipes only! As I kept blogging, reading, and listening to everyone I started to understand that I would be much more of a value to you all if I posted things that we all need like weeknight dinner recipes!
Meals that are quick, easy, and not boring is what I was seeing that everyone wanted, and I enjoy making them and posting them just as much as sweet treats. Who would have thought?!
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread:
Making chocolate chip banana bread is a breeze with this simple one bowl recipe!
- First, you will want to mash your ripe bananas until they are as smooth as possible. Then, add your sour cream and butter to the bananas.
- Next, just drop in your sugar, eggs, and vanilla and mix really well once again!
- Third, we will add the dry ingredients of flour, baking soda, and salt. This is where it’s important not to over-mix. Mix the batter just until everything is combined. Then, fold in the chocolate chips!
Enjoy!

This recipe is the best – my son loves banana bread but not the cinnamon in most recipes. It’s easy and the bread is very moist. Thank you!
I made this vegan with coconut milk and lemon juice in place of sour cream and an extra half a banana for the egg. Probably could have added the whole extra banana. Looks good, smells good, trying it tomorrow 🙂
This recipe is so yummy!! And easy- I made this in 10 mins! My son and I ate the whole loaf in 2 days!! Delish!!
Delicious chocolate chip banana bread and so easy to prepare! My grandsons love it! Thank you for sharing!
Try it with Lily’s sugar free chocolate chips and Splenda (instead of sugar). Tastes like the real thing, but 100% sugar free! Plus I added one banana and it came out perfect and so moist. The kids and husband ate the entire loaf in one sitting!
Do you use chocolate chips or semi sweet chocolate chips in this recipe?
I typically use semi-sweet 🙂
I’ve never made banana bread before, and I have some white chocolate chips and pecans in the fridge. Do you think those would be good to add? Should I toast the pecans first? I’m so excited to try this! Thanks!
Hi! Yes, white chocolate chips and pecans would be great in this bread! I don’t think you’d need to toast your pecans first, but you could if that’s your preference!
This was the BEST banana bread I have EVER had! The chocolate chips were such a good touch just to make this delicious recipe even better! Thanks for sharing!!!
This recipe was an absolute hit in my house! Used plain yogurt and mini chips. I don’t have a loaf pan so I made muffins instead. My kids and husband gobbled up 15 of them in 2 days! Thank you for sharing.
Just wanted to say I love your blog! I have this banana bread in the oven right now and I made your sesame ramen recipe for lunch today. I love your taste! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
I’ve been baking banana bread for 40 years. This recipe is the BEST! I added pecans, MINI chocolate chips (bigger chiPS make gummy bread) and unsweetened coconut flakes. And j used 8 mini loaf pans. Best I’ve ever baked!
My husband said that this was the best banana bread I have ever made and I have to agree with him! It is so moist and tasty! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
seen this recipe the and it looked really good, making it tonight. I’m sure it’ll turn out great. 😊
Used plain yogurt instead of sour cream and added some walnuts. Great recipe! So moist. Thank you

This was not my first try at chocolate chip banana bread but it will become my favorite. Absolutely delicious!
