The Most Moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread You Will Ever Taste

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at BU chapter.

There are so many different takes on banana bread. Some opt for walnuts, but I prefer chocolate chips. A common version includes sliced bananas, but I think it’s best when they are completely mashed and incorporated in the bread.

Several recipes call for melted butter, but creaming the butter and sugar together gives it a much fluffier and rich texture. As I’m sure you’re wondering, what makes this banana bread exceptionally moist is sour cream.

Bet you haven’t seen that one before, huh? It does a phenomenal job making the bread rich and keeping it moist, and no one will even know that it’s in there.

    Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to eat.

Now that you’re all done, you are ready to cut yourself a piece. Try making this recipe for a holiday dessert, or even for a gathering of friends or family. You can always substitute the chocolate chips for other add-ins like nuts or seeds, but who doesn’t love chocolate? Whatever you decide to toss in, I guarantee the bread will be devoured in a flash.
