This recipe couldn’t be easier. One bowl. Quick baking time. Pure joy.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Prep the Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line your loaf pan with parchment paper and set it aside.

Step 2 — Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

• Mashed bananas
• Greek yogurt
• Peanut butter
• Eggs
• Honey
• Vanilla

The mixture will be thick and creamy, and your kitchen will already start smelling like banana heaven.

Step 3 — Add Dry Ingredients

Sprinkle in:

• Oat flour
• Baking soda
• Salt

Gently fold until just combined. Don’t overmix—you want a soft, tender crumb!

Step 4 — Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in your chocolate chips, saving a few for sprinkling over the top.

(This is where I always sneak one or two. Chef’s tax.)

Step 5 — Bake

Pour batter into your lined loaf pan.
Sprinkle the extra chocolate chips on top.

Bake for 35–45 minutes, depending on loaf pan size.

Your loaf is ready when:

• A toothpick comes out mostly clean
• The top is golden and set
• Your home smells like a peanut-butter-chocolate-banana dream

Step 6 — Cool (Important!)

Let cool in the pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
The cooling step lets the center set into that perfect soft texture.

What to Serve With This Soft Chocolate Chip Bread Loaf

This bread shines all on its own, but here are some winning combinations:

• A steaming mug of coffee or chai
• A side of Greek yogurt and berries
• A drizzle of warm peanut butter
• A glass of cold almond milk
• A scoop of vanilla yogurt for a “breakfast sundae”

Tips for the Perfect Loaf Every Time

• Use ripe bananas. You want lots of brown spots for sweetness.
• Use creamy natural peanut butter for that dreamy richness.
• Don’t overmix the batter—this keeps the loaf extra soft.
• Add chocolate chips on top so they melt beautifully.
• Bake on the middle rack for even cooking.
• Let it cool before slicing or it may crumble.
• For a taller loaf, use an 8×4 pan.
