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!

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.
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!
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!
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!
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 love chocolate chips and banana bread together!
How about adding chopped maraschino cherries?
Would it add too much moisture to the mix?
