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!

I never added chocolate to my banana bread until kids too! Like you — I want mine with lots of chopped nuts – preferably pecans — but the kiddies are averse… I usually make two loaves — one replete with chocolate and the other loaded with nuts. Everyone wins!
Yes, I love pecans in my banana bread! Great idea making two different loaves! 🙂
I love your pictures and your recipe! I am a fan of banana bread and this one looks fantastic. I’ll try it asap!
I love easy breads like this. Sounds so good and I would love it for a brunch!
Oh my God, I will have to make this really soon. I know my niece and nephews will love this. Banana is their favorite fruit.
Wow! That is so loaded with chocolate chips! Looks moist and delicious! I love this time of year too! Turning on the oven to bake up a tasty treat is my favorite!
Haha, I was literally about to use the word “moist” to describe a banana bread recipe the other day. I didn’t because people freak out over that word, but you’re SO right – it fits a good banana bread perfectly. Embrace the moistness, people.
Yummm. Love how simple (yet delicious!) this banana bread is, Nichole! Well done! This is perfect for when I am craving something decadent but don’t want all the hassle.
Oh my goodness, this looks so delicious! I like how you added a fair amount of chocolate chips too. Yum! My little guy would eat this whole loaf!
Can’t wait to try this one – looks delish!
Love your recipes, thank you so much for sharing.
Yum! The only thing that could make banana bread more delish is chocolate chips 🙂
This sounds like a really great way to use leftover bananas!
I made this for the first time today. I doubled the recipe and added one cup each of peanut butter chips and chocolate chips. When I sliced it up, the inside was dark and moist.
Hello everyone! I made this and took it to work, it went fast! Please, I have a question, I hope some of you good folks can answer. I would like to make it with peanut butter, but don’t know how much I should use. Would I need to use less butter or adjust any of the other ingredients? Thanks for any suggestion.
I just ate the first piece of my bread made from this recipe and I added about a cup and a half to two cups of chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups so good. I have also made it with chocolate covered blueberries and the heat made the blueberries into chewy candy also very tasty.
Quick and delicious……best way to use those overripe bananas
I guarantee it won’t last long!
Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe

I love making banana bread, especially when I have tons of overripe bananas!! Thank you for sharing!
Your quick bread looks so beautiful. I always forget to use chocolate chips in my quick breads and this recipe is perfect.

This quick loaf sounds delicious and you totally had me with ‘one-bowl’! I can’t wait to try this, thanks!
Wow, I love banana bread but adding chocolate would make it even better!
I’ll be making this for brunch this weekend! This looks so amazing !!
Ooh, the sour cream and chocolate chips totally make this!
This looks amazing! My kids just love banana bread!
ALL THAT CHOCOLATE! I’m in love!
This chocolate chip banana bread is so tasty!
How about adding chopped maraschino cherries?
Would it add too much moisture to the mix?
I love chocolate chips and banana bread together!
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is the best! This one looks delish!
Best banana bread ever!!!! I did add a few extra chocolate chips just because nobody can ever get enough chocolate. I will be making this again and two loaves were requested by my family.
You’re right, never such a thing as too much chocolate! So glad that you and your family enjoyed this! 🙂
I’ve Been making this every week now for a few months because it is so easy in my stand mixer and one additional bowl for mixing the dry ingredients in. It’s so delicious— the only tweak is that I substitute half the butter for coconut oil, melt them together and always make a double batch! Thanks for such an awesome recipe!
I have always been a banana bread fan & have tried many recipes, but had never added sour cream to the batter before. What a game changer! My daughter & I taste tested at breakfast and then I somewhat reluctantly cut up the rest to take to a morning meeting at work. There were rave reviews all around and not a crumb left! I’m actually more likely to have plain Greek yogurt in the fridge than sour cream, so I will be trying that substitution next. Thanks for the delicious treat!
LOVE this recipe! Ever since stumbling upon it a few weeks ago, my kids and I have made it Every Sunday! Thank you for sharing!
How would I adapt the baking time to use
mini baking pans! How many mini
loaves would this recipe make? I want to
bake them as small gifts for a group.
