Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed

Additional:

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla, mashed bananas, and sour cream until well combined.
  5. Combine batter: Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Create chocolate batter: Transfer half the batter to a separate bowl and mix in the melted chocolate until fully incorporated.
  7. Marble the batters: Alternately spoon the plain and chocolate batters into the prepared loaf pan. Swirl together with a butter knife for a marbled effect.
  8. Bake: Bake for 55–65 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool and serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Try mini chocolate chips for added texture or swirl in peanut butter for a unique twist.
  • Store leftovers tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
