Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mash your ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remaining.
- Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar for the snickerdoodle topping.
- Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the snickerdoodle topping mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake for 55-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to the wire rack to cool completely.

Keywords: Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor. Don't overmix the batter to keep the bread tender. Using cream of tartar in the topping enhances the snickerdoodle flavor.
