Time 2h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg, at room temperature
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-by-5-inch metal loaf pan.
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
  • Lightly beat the egg in a medium bowl with a fork or a whisk. Add the banana and mix to combine. Stir in the sour cream, vanilla and melted butter. Stir the sour cream-banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans until just combined but with a few lumps still in the batter. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth out into an even layer.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, 1 hour, 5 minutes to 1 hour, 10 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for 20 minutes. Run a thin knife along the sides of the pan to loosen the bread and unmold it. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter bread, use ripe bananas. For a less sweet bread, use bananas that are not as ripe.
  • To make sure the chocolate chips are evenly distributed, toss them in a little bit of flour before adding them to the batter.
  • If you want a more moist bread, add an extra 1/4 cup of mashed banana to the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this will result in a tough bread.
  • To ensure that the bread is cooked evenly, use a toothpick to check the center of the bread. When it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
