Ingredients

½ cup butter softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup sour cream regular or light (can sub plain Greek yogurt)
1 cup mashed overripe bananas (2 bananas)
½ cup chopped walnuts finely chopped
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat a 9-x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl using an electric hand or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla, and mix again to combine.
In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture just until moistened. Finally, use a wooden spoon to fold in the sour cream, bananas, walnuts and chocolate chips. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Cool loaf in the pan for 10 minutes then remove from pan and allow to cool completely.

Notes

Storage

Transfer the completely cooled banana bread to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.

If you'd like to freeze it, wrap slices or the entire loaf tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in a resealable freezer bag. Chocolate Chip Banana bread can be frozen for up to 2 to 3 months. Thaw slices or the loaf in the fridge or at room temperature.
