Indulge in the perfect balance of sweet bananas and rich chocolate with this delightful Chocolate Chip Banana Snack Cake. Moist, flavorful, and easy to make, this cake is a wonderful treat for any time of day.


Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips, plus more for topping


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, mix mashed bananas, sugars, melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Combine wet and dry ingredients, then fold in chocolate chips.
  3. Bake: Pour the batter into the pan, top with additional chocolate chips, and bake for 35–40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool before slicing and enjoying!

Notes

  • Enhance texture by adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • Store covered at room temperature or in the fridge for lasting moistness.
