Instructions

Preheat the oven to 360°F (convection) or 400°F (top/bottom heat). Grease a loaf pan and dust it with flour, or line it with parchment paper. Chop the chocolate into small pieces with a knife.

Peel the bananas and mash them into a smooth puree with a fork. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk together until well combined.

Stir in the oil, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, mix the baking powder and flour together, then fold them into the wet ingredients.

Fold the chocolate into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake at 360°F for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan. Then carefully remove or lift the banana bread out of the pan.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Banana Ripeness Matters 🍌
Use bananas that are completely brown and soft - the darker and riper, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
Chocolate Chunk Technique 🍫
Toss chocolate chunks in a tablespoon of flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
Whole Wheat Moisture Secret 💧
Because whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid, let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes before baking to ensure maximum moisture and softness.
Oil Distribution Hack 🥄
Use a neutral oil and mix it thoroughly to create a more even crumb and prevent dry spots in your banana bread.
Storage Pro Tip 🧊
Wrap the cooled banana bread tightly in plastic wrap, then foil, to maintain moisture and prevent freezer burn if you're storing it long-term.
