Although we seem to go thorough bananas at a frightening speed, there are inevitably always a couple sitting in the fruit bowl which are brown. When I saw three lovely, soft brown bananas sitting in the bowl last week, I took it as a sign I needed to make this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. This recipe is a favourite in our house, the addition of yummy chocolate chips turn this delicious banana bread into something really special.
If you have more willpower than us, you can cut a few slices and pop them in the freezer so you can have some on demand - what more could you want?!

Do you go through a lot of bananas in your house too?
What's your favourite recipe to use up those brown bananas?
Tanja says
Tried and tasted, everyone loved it, thank you!
Kirsty Byatt says
Pretty good. It split in the middle and I'm wondering if I got the measurements right?
When you say cups do you mean a TM measuring cup? It would be better to be able to use the scale.
Tash says
Thank you for your feedback. The recipe has been edited to use weight measurements where possible 🙂
Eva Zerner says
Very quick and easy to make!
Claire says
What have I done wrong. I thought I followed the recipe exactly but mine looks more like suet pudding, texture is horrible totally undercooked. Now back in the oven
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Claire, sorry to hear it hasn't worked out for you. I would say the bananas you have used were quite big? This can impact the texture.
Emma Bollington says
Thanks for the lovely recipe. It fell a little in the middle but tastes great.
Judy says
Hi!
Question, no baking soda and/or baking powder, salt or vanilla in this recipe?
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Judy, yes that's right! The self raising flour already has rising agents in it. If you want you can add a little salt or vanilla if your prefer.
EssentiallyJess says
We are the same with bananas, and I've always got some in my freezer for baking. Now I know what to make with them 🙂
