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 was probably the best banana bread I have ever made! I substituted the sour cream with Greek yogurt, added cinnamon chips and also peanut butter chips. Sooooo good!
I love all your recipes and am sure this recipe will be as good as the others. My loaf is cooking right now, but I am wondering in the future is it better to use salted or unsalted butter?? Thank you and thank you for all your wonderful recipes!
This recipe is fantastic. I used crisco instead of butter and 1/2 cup brow sugar instead of the white sugar. I also added chopped walnuts. Came out moist and delicious. Will definitely be making this recipe again in the very near future.
Oh no- the two of us ate half the cake once it came out of the oven. This is definitely making a showing at Thanksgiving dinner. Possibly mini muffins for a quick grab and go.
I In going to bake for the first time and o have loads of bananas that I don’t want going to waste… I’m just curious is 350 degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius?
I definitely I’m new to this kitchen world 😅
It's Fahrenheit 🙂
I’ve made a lot of banana bread and this is the easiest one ever and tastes moist and delicious! I substituted Greek Yogurt for the sour cream to give it a little more protein. Like others have mentioned, I did have to bake it an extra 15 minutes - otherwise the middle was raw banana. Try it- you’ll love the taste and the quick clean up.
Followed directions exactly, but I had to cook it for 80 minutes. It might be a high altitude issue. I live at 5000 above sea level.
I didn’t have sour cream so I substitute it with plain yogourt 11% Oikos and it was amazing!!! So good it was all gone an hour later!
This is THE BEST banana bread! Thank you for the recipe!
INCREDIBLE!!! I made this one first and then tried the classic recipe. I would say they are both amazing but this one is much more moist. I’m trying it again now without the chocolate chips since it was just a bit much for me to have an entire loaf of. 10/10 amazing - this will be my go to recipe! It’s the sour cream that makes it stand out.
The best banana bread recipe I ever tried. Very lite and the chocolate stands out. It’s a winner.
I made these into 15 muffins and they were delicious! I did make a few substitutions. I used a white whole wheat flour, Greek plain yogurt because I didn't have sour cream, and 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar instead of the white sugar. I also used a 1/2 cup applesauce in place of the eggs because my mother-in-law who's visiting doesn't eat them. Even with all these changes they weren't dense and they were so delicious! Oh I also added in some chopped walnuts! Thanks for a great recipe
How long did the muffins take to bake?
Love this recipe. I substituted vanilla Greek yogurt for the sour cream and it was creamy with a hint of vanilla flavor. Frost it and you could easily pull it off as cake!! Thanks for the recipe. ☺️
I had to cook it longer but it was great.
I hate using this word but it’s so moist! Sour cream is the secret ingredient. I don’t know magic sour cream does but it just took this recipe to another level. 10/10 would recommend this recipe. It’s so good!
Hells yeah!! Awesome recipe!! I ended up having a lot of frozen bannanas and made 4 batches. Every time turned out fantastic!! By the second batch I added frozen blueberries to the mix. Also added a light dusting of brown sugar to the tops about 5 mins from being done. Ended up creating a sugary crust on top. So darn tasty! Thanks again for the recipe! Cheers.
Amazing super easy and best thing ever
Love this recipe so easy and good! A favorite at my house!
This is AMAZING. only issue i had was it took 80 min to cook. Made a second batch today as muffins. I did replace the 1 cup white sugar with 1/2 cup brown. Still very sweet enough. Like another person commented, all savoury recipes from The Salty Marshmallow have been successful so trying this was a no brainer. Thank you.
Mine too! I'm making them right now and I'm at 32 minutes and counting. I haven't quite figured out the oven in my new apartment so I thought that was the issue. Glad it wasn't just me 🙂
Oh wait, I read the timing wrong 😂 Disregard!
We have tried many banana bread recipes and this is by far the BEST and EASIEST! They taste great as muffins too!
