Ingredients

  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 13×9-inch baking pan.
  2. Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract and mashed bananas until combined.
  5. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, alternating with milk.
  7. Mix gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  8. Fold in chocolate chips evenly.
  9. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 35–40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  11. Cool in the pan before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for best sweetness and moisture.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • Mini chocolate chips distribute more evenly.
  • Can substitute butter with oil for a different texture.
  • Add nuts or extra spices for variation.
