Chocolate Chip Banana Bread - BEST Moist and Sweet Bread!

Chocolate chip banana bread is moist, sweet, and easy to make. This is my favorite bread recipe and I make it all the time. Very ripe bananas will work best in the recipe!

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

I have to admit, I get a little excited when I see my bananas start to get those pretty little black spots on the peel. That means the bananas are getting extremely ripe, which is exactly what I need for my incredible chocolate chip banana bread recipe.

I’ve been perfecting this moist and delicious banana bread with chocolate chips recipe for about a year, and I can tell you that this recipe is beyond perfect.

If you follow my instructions and use very ripe bananas, you really just can’t go wrong with this recipe.

My chocolate chip banana bread is so dense and moist on the inside, and the top bakes-up perfectly golden on top. Be sure to save a few of your mini chocolate chips to sprinkle all over the top of the bread, as this will give it a very pretty finish on top.

I’ve also found that sprinkling some granulated sugar on top with the chocolate chips gives the top a nice, extra-sweet flavor and texture.

Oh, and before I forget, if you love quick and scrumptious bread recipes don’t miss my blueberry zucchini bread and this amazing cream cheese filled pumpkin bread.
