Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (345 grams)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (115 ml)
  • 2 large eggs (114 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon espresso powder (4 grams)
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar (200 grams)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (5 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (4 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (3 grams)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (120 grams)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease or line a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Beat the eggs in a separate small bowl.
  3. Add mashed bananas, oil, eggs, espresso powder, and sugar to the bowl. Stir until smooth and combined.
  4. Add flour, vanilla extract, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 65 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For stronger coffee flavor, add an extra teaspoon of espresso powder.
  • Fold in 1/2 cup chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds for added texture.
  • Sprinkle sugar on top before baking for a sweet crust.
  • Use dairy-free chocolate chips to make the loaf fully dairy-free.
  • Turn into muffins by baking at 325°F for 25–30 minutes.
