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!
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!
MY LATEST VIDEOS
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?!
But, it’s definitely baking season now and since we do like quick and easy around here, it was my goal to make this banana bread as simple as can be. It’s made in one bowl, no special equipment required! You won’t believe how gorgeous this bread turns out from such an effortless recipe. It’s so super soft and moist (I know we hate that word but sometimes it’s necessary, right?).
I will go ahead and say that I never added chocolate chips to my banana bread until after I had kids. I like banana bread plain, I like it with nuts (they won’t eat it with nuts!) and now I happen to love it packed to the brim with chocolate chips as well.
What I love about this banana bread, in particular, is that you can have it your way. Leave out the chocolate chips if you prefer and add some nuts. Or, if you just like plain old perfect banana bread with no nuts, chips, or frills then leave them all out!
Whatever you choose, you will fall in love with this banana bread recipe. Minimal work, only a handful of steps with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry, then let your oven do all the work!
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.
Quick and delicious……best way to use those overripe bananas
I guarantee it won’t last long!
Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe
