Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3–4 medium)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter, oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in mashed bananas.
- Add dry ingredients and chocolate chips to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan until warm or room temperature before slicing.
Notes

- Swirl ⅓ cup peanut butter into the batter before baking.
- Use dark chocolate or mini chips for variation.
