These easy Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Mini Loaves are going to be a favorite amongst your neighbors, family and friends.

‘Tis almost the season of giving, and my favorite things to do at this time of year are bake, bake and bake. Cookies, cakes, pies, muffins, breads… there are so many things you can bake and give.

Banana Bread Mini Loaves

When I have a few overripe bananas, I love making a loaf or two of banana bread. But you can’t just give someone a half a loaf! Enter this mini-loaf pan — the answer to holiday bread baking. Make the same amount of banana bread, but evenly distributed to feed more people.

We also love to make these delicious banana blondies, or our favorite banana cake with vanilla glaze if you have more than a few bananas to use up!

I remember a co-worker who introduced me to these little loaves of heaven. She left two miniature loaves of pumpkin bread on everyone’s desk one morning. It was an easy way to eliminate break room freeloaders and appease everyone. So, I bought my own mini-loaf pan and it’s my favorite thing this time of year. After baking, of course.

Author: Pretty Providence

Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe bananas peeled
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup of sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6 ounces chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a mini loaf pan or insert liners into your pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas and melted butter with a fork until smooth. Mix in the sugar until combined. Beat in the egg and stir in the vanilla.
  • Sprinkle in the baking soda, salt, flour and cinnamon. In three batches, stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture until combined and creamy. Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes, then loosen the sides of the loaves with a knife. Transfer the loaves from the pans to a cooling rack and let cool entirely, about 2 hours. To store, wrap tightly with plastic wrap or refrigerate up to 10 days.

Notes

Adapted from Simply Recipes.
You can use any kind of chocolate chips you like, my family prefers milk. 
If you are using pan liners (which I love) I still lightly spray them with cooking spray for easy removal.

    I use the Pampered Chef mini loaf pan. I fill them about 2/3-3/4 full. They are perfect in 20 min. My kids love these!

      I just bought this pan the other day and had to buy the liners on Amazon cause was unable to find them anywhere. Michaels didn’t hsave them and neither did Hobby Lobby.
