Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter
  • 0.75 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.333 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups mashed bananas about 4 large ripe bananas
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.25 cups chocolate chips divided

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×5 loaf pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixer bowl fitted with the whisk attachment, add the butter and brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined.
  5. Add sour cream, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
  6. Add dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup (divided) of the chocolate chips.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup of chocolate chips on top.
  9. Bake for 60-65 minutes. Tent with foil after 25-30 minutes if browning too rapidly. Insert a toothpick to check doneness; it should come out clean.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan. Slice and serve.

Notes
